Slashing someones tires doesn't have anything to do with cherishing cars or how much you spent on them. That's a total moot point. There are others ways to deal with the situation. Employing this logic I could have just bought a brand new Ferrari Enzo for a million dollars, and I am also president of the Ferrari owners Club of Canada. Clearly I spend a lot of money on my car, and I have a great respect for cars. Lets say some person carelessly plows into my car and totals it. If it is ok to dent in someones door and slash their tires because they dinged my door, I should be allowed to murder them because I care so much about cars and payed a lot. Sound ridiculous? So does slashing someones tires.
Our society doesn't work on the moto of "tit for tat". ie. Someone dings my door so I can ding it back. We have a legal system for a reason.
