Ayr Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just wrong. Clearly there is a lot of people born into hideous amounts of privilege and wealth and we have to deal with making sure our society is a meritocratic one. I can understand the angst people feel when they work hard all their lives and never have what others have by simply being born. But that's just out of order. How does he know that the car owner didn't work hard for that car. The owner could have spent his whole life wanting that car since he was a boy and working his nuts off his whole life to get it. You know what I mean? When you take out your angst on random targets, you only make the world a worse place to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I saw this on LinkedIn the other day and made a comment much the same as yours! It is really crazy that a mindless, jealous idiot would do such a thing.AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If you can pay 92.000 for a car you could not possibly earn that money by hard work. And even if you did that, you must be a real douche not valuing yourself and money. I bet that if that car was an old fiat nobody would care about it.

And even if you did that, you must be a real douche not valuing yourself and money. I bet that if that car was an old fiat nobody would care about it.That is so off base I don't even know where to begin. I don't know about depreciation across the pond in London, but here in the States cars depreciate in value quite rapidly. You can buy used Aston Martins all day long in the $30k to $40k range. Granted, not a brand new one, but if you are really itching to just get one you can very easily afford one by going used. Like has been previously said, this guy may have wanted one his entire life and saved up the money for years to afford the lease payments or the loan payments if he bought it. There are union plumbers and electricians who earn significant hourly rates here. I know because some of them are my clients. They work pretty hard. They are also very skilled.

Hagus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 "Hard work" doesn't necessarily mean manual labour, it might mean building a business, it might mean taking risks, that's no more or less valuable than using your hands. I do both by the way.I'm the kind of guy who if I see someone in a lovely car at the petrol station I'll say "lovely car mate" or similar, the owners reaction is most often one of shock, which says to me positive comments are rare!

Mendota Explorer Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 What do you do when it is your little kids, and instead of it being caused by a key it is caused by their bicycle handlebars and toys? Ugh. I went out to my car in the garage the other day and the whole side has scratches everywhere. Long ones, short ones, little knicks, gouges, etc. The car is black, too. Hood, front passenger quarter panel, front passenger door, rear passenger door... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Straight from the Daily Mail............ A father who scratched his keys along the bodywork of a £100,000 Aston Martin while out pushing a pram walked free from court today after the car's owner said he did not want to see him jailed.Gary Brissett, 48, was with his 13-month-old baby when he caused nearly £8,000 damage by scratching the supercar while driver Oliver Hall popped into the shops in Hackney, east London.Mr Hall returned moments later and drove off before discovering a long scratch mark down the full length of the passenger side of his vehicle.The incident was captured by the car’s dash cam and was later viewed by millions of people online.The video was shown as evidence at Thames Magistrates' Court today before Brissett was given an eight-week suspended sentence and ordered to pay £1095.The footage shows him stop in front of the V8 Vanquish sports car before rummaging around in his pockets. After he finds his keys, Brissett pulls the cover down on the baby's pushchair and slowly approaches the vehicle parked in Tesco Car park. With the keys in his left hand, Brissett grimaces as he drags them down the complete side of the car, ruining the Aston Martin's paintwork and causing £7,741.28-worth of damage.The vandal gave a full and frank admission and pleaded guilty to criminal damage after he was identified from the footage and arrested.Brissett's personal circumstances were considered at his sentencing hearing today and Mr Hall gave a statement to court saying he did not wish to see the father locked up.Mr Hall has yet to claim on his insurance for the damage, and Brissett was ordered to pay £750 compensation to the victim from his benefits.Prosecutor Karen Phillips said: 'The victim parked his Aston Martin and he left it in a secure space while going into the Tesco supermarket.'He later drove off but discovered his car had been scratched on the nearside.'Upon watching the CCTV footage it was reported to police and Mr Brissett was later identified by three police officers.'In a statement read in court Mr Hall said: 'I don't wish to see the upbringing of his child be permanently affected by a stay in prison.'Daniel O'Donoghue, defending, said: 'Mr Brissett has to concede that this is a serious offence by virtue of the high value of the damage caused.'The owner was not present at the time and it doesn't take place in the context of any violent action. We have heard from the victim that the impact is primarily financial.'Brissett trained as a painter and decorator with City and Guilds after serving a lengthy jail term for an unspecified offences in the 90s and has started his own home improvement business.But he has been unemployed since August 2014 and is now in receipt of £600 benefits a month.Chair of the bench Sharon Higgins took into account the impact a custodial sentence would have on Brissett's two children.He sends between £100-£150 a month to his eight-year-old daughter living with her grandmother in Jamaica after her mother died seven years ago, the court heard.Brissett is the main carer for his 13-month-old baby as the mother is suffering from post-natal depression, the court heard.Mr O'Donoghue said Brissett has had to give up work from August 2014 in order to be a full-time carer for his baby, and lives in emergency council accommodation.Brissett, of Hackney, was given an eight-week sentence suspended for 12 months and ordered to wear an electronic tag and observe a curfew from 9pm-7am for three months.He must also pay £10 a week towards a £180 criminal court charge, £85 prosecution costs, a £80 victim surcharge, and £750 compensation.
