I am impressed that you seem to realize that, even though it is a Porsche Boxter S, it is still just a car and that the important thing is nobody was injured.

I have known too many people who go absolutely ballistic -- taking it as a personal affront -- when somebody makes a mistake and has the incredible nerve to actually damage their property.

People fly way off the handle on that sort of thing. The street I work on is a hot spot for accidents, so I watch many such incidents involving someone going ballistic (9 times out of 10, the idiot who caused it) over a scratch or a dent, usually not major damage.

But then again, I work with people like this. They didn't understand my "s**t happens" attitude when I got a tiny nick in my bumper while my car was parked on the street.

Some people have no proper grounding in reality.
