I once owned a matte black car. Parked at a R&R, in between cars, car in front of me is Saga with people inside. Then go out and stand beside my car, waiting for despatch to send me a package.
Then came this big MPV (Alphard if I remember), parked in front of the Saga. One guy came out of the MPV looking like VIP, and 3 big-sized people came out from Saga to discuss something. Then they go back inside their cars, suddenly the Saga reversed and bang my car! My car was not even moving, yet he can still hit it!
I shouted and cursed like hell and went to the Saga. 3 people came out. MPV 2 people came out oso and surrounded me. Driver and me standing eye to eye, shouting match. I was so damn pissed I slapped the driver. The drive swung a punch, I ducked my head, hit my ear a bit. Then MPV guy came and pacify the Saga driver. They all went back inside their cars, and drove off. Only when they were driving off, my despatch arrived. Express bus drivers came from petrol station, asking me what happened. Told them all this Saga reversed and hit my car. Those drivers told me, if they have known, they would have helped me confront those men. Yeah right... I thought you saw yet why wouldn't you came earlier? Takut izzit?
My car's front bumper dented a bit. Not much but still money lor. But driving back I thought what stoopid thing I did confronting those 5 men and slapping the driver. If they brought out a knife I could have died and not write this post today. For a bit money, not worth it lar.
Oh yeah, and when you paint your car matte black, very hard for people to see. You can, people can't. C-A-N be a magnet for accidents.
