Well, it's been a long time... Maybe we're nicer down here in SoCal, or
maybe everybody used to be nicer.  Still, it would never have occurred
to me that somebody might be willing to door himmself just for the sheer
pleasure of killing the person pushing the car;  at the very least, he'd
leave some of his own paint as evidence.  At worst, my door (made of
REAL metal) might actually rip off his bumper, which is hard to explain
-- especially with all the bloodstains on the headlights.
