    Apparently this happened at Commerce Gate shopping mall in Markham, Ontario recently. It's something I picked up at Rennlist from the Canada section of the board......

    The conversation is being told to a poster there by his friend who works at the aformentioned location and witnessed the random ordeal.

    -------------------------------------

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    this afternoon, around lunch, PLENTY of parking spots, a 45 yr old guy in a M3 was meeting a friend, female, for lunch or some ****, saw her car, signaled to park into it, and as he getting ready to park a young guy, maybe 25 at max with his g/f races into the spot from the other side in a Porsche C4

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the guy gets out and asks the kid to move, cuz its his spot, the young guy says "ur too slow old timer" from inside his car

    Justin 害 - says:
    lol mouthy ****s

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the old guy gets back in the M3 puts it in reverse, waits until they're both out of the car, and rams it into the C4

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    gets out, the kid is just shocked, the girl is freaking out, the old guy looks at the damage and says "not bad enough", gets back in his car, gives it some distance, and burns out reverse into the C4, both cars seem to be totaled

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:alarms going off, ppl freaking out

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    M3 guy takes out his insurance card, his license, and puts it on the C4's roof and tells the kid to copy it down, and than says "ur not rich enough to be arrogant"

    Justin 害 - says:
    ahahahahahaha holy ****
    Justin 害 - says:
    that's awesome
    Justin 害 - says:
    that is by far the BEST thing i've heard in a while

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    so the kid, upset with a brusied ego, calls his boys up and 4 youngn's show up with civics

    Justin 害 - says:
    "you're not rich enough to be arrogant"

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    it gets better

    Justin 害 - says:
    oh god

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the older guy made an interesting face and called his friends up

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    while they were yelling at him, he sat in his shattered M3 and waited

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    within 15 minutes, a Hummer and a Ferrari 575M show up.

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:6 big guys come out, all about 300 lbs

    Justin 害 - says:
    ahahaha

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the kid is freeaking out, calls the cops

    Justin 害 - says:
    this is why i dont **** around
    YOU NEVER KNOW, WHO SOMEBODY KNOWS

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    its pretty quiet, everyones talkin within their own group about wat happened and wat to do

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    cops show up, hear out the kid, hear out the guy, the guy shows them some id

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the cops go back to their car, make some calls, write a report, d after like an hour, cops are so slow

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    tell them both "its private property, fault is 50/50, solve it urselfs"

    Justin 害 - says:
    HAHAHA
    civil court

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    the old guy calls 2 of those cool looking tow trucks, and tells them, refering to his M3 "throw this piece of **** in the lake, and take his wherever he wants it, send me the billl"

    Justin 害 - says:
    WOW.... I love blatant displays of wealth

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    than tells the kid "listen, thats my winter beater, I can buy another one anytime, that Ferrari, thats my summer car, and costs triple ur Porsche. next time dont be so quick to jump the gun"

    mikal ~ sick of waiting tables says:
    he gets in the Ferrari and drives off

    I've got to admit, to me the story reads as a contest between two people bound and determined to prove they're the bigger dickweed. I don't see much humor in it.

    -----
    Driver A: I'm so rich and cool in my Porsche that I can cut this M3 off and call him old.

    Driver B: I'm so rich I can trash my car and this guy's car and not give a crap.

    Driver A: Nobody does that to me! I'm calling my friends

    Driver B: Hey! Nobody's group of friends threatens me, I'm calling my flunkies.

    Driver A and B: What do we do now... we've run out of cars to destroy

    [Police are called]

    Police: We don't get paid enough to worry about numbnuts like these.

    Driver B: See, I own a Ferrari. You don't. I'm richer and better than you! HA HA! You should wantonly destroy others' property and act superior! HA HA HA!

    -----

    There are far better ways to get revenge. Why not just follow Porsche boy into the restaurant and slip the bartender $100 to give him a free drink and say, just loud enough to be overheard, "You'll need this. I just heard Juan's herpes test came back positive."

    Or have your girlfriend write in lipstick on his windshield: "We've got to hook up again soon, I want another "ride" in the Porsche. Call me soon xxx - Cindy" Let him explain that to his girlfriend.

    Heck, if you're really a "master of the universe" you could get one of your flunkies to do something more interesting than that. Fill his car with macaroni and cheese. Tie garden gnomes to the bumper every day for a month. Pay the homeless $50 to dry their laundry on it. Paint it another color while he shops. Something....

    Just bashing his car with yours seems pretty dumb, if you ask me.

    Agreed.

    Of course having a nice car (including porsche) should never be an excuse (as this could used it) to act the way he did what with stealing the mans parking spot etc. however I have to say though I like the story the man needs to get his temper (no matter how wealthy he is) under control.

    This story sounds very similar to one that I read on another board. I wonder if its one of those stories that remain the same but the places are different.

    You find macaroni, garden gnomes, and paint funny but not trashing some punk kid's car? That makes me sad. :(

    The ironic thing is that M3/575 guy failed to notice Warren Buffet's Buick parked next to the hot dog cart. He came home to find that his insurance was cancelled, his bank account seized and his power was turned off.

    There's always a bigger fish.. and he usually looks like a toad!

    Bingo....this story started out with a 2nd-grader and a 5th-grader arguing over who gets to park their bike on the McDonalds bike rack. One kid was on a Schwinn, the other a Diamondback.

    I find it funny that the kid is 25....Is "he" even rich, or does daddy buy the toys.

    Hate to be the spoiler here, but I think this story is made up. It is just another reincarnation of an older story that had been told since at least the late 80's. A lesser version was even used in the 1991 movie "Fried Green Tomato".

    Incredible story, but it does sound a little fabricated.

    It does sound a little fake to me. But if it happened to me I think I'd take a bit more subtle approach and screw with his car the way Chris said.

    "I may be older and slower but I have more insurance" does sound a lot like "Fried Green Tomato"
