I was lucky to have been raised by a loving and supportive family and take that foundation and bust my ass to achieve success. But not everyone has the same opportunities. NOT saying there are people who can do things to put themselves in a better situation... BUT you just don't know what someone else has been through until you walk in their shoes (and yes, we ALL have our own 'cross to bare').

Honestly...i'd try to give the guy(s) a $5 and tell them 'No touch PLEASE'. You shouldn't HAVE to pay them....BUT I am learning to PICK MY BATTLES. I'd rather use my energy to go make another butt-load of cash, vs fight these guys over a car.
I think your idea of paying them is akin to negotiating with terrorists.

You're rewarding their behavior and therefore attracting others to do the same.

Your first idea of avoiding the area was better. Alternatively my first idea of stopping short and then passing them when they approach the window also works well.

I would suggest you get a trunk monkey installed:

i beep like a cunt and start yelling at them to get the f**k away from my car

they usually dont touch it after, but might show me a finger, which i advice them to stick up their ass

it works for me

might be more polite next time and just rev my beast, so they have their ears bleeding
