Is it possible that the gangsters in GF paid more respect to the car of a man than to his life?
- During the party, Sonny destroys the camera of the FBI man, even though he could have just kicked the car. He spat on the ground not at the car.
- When Clemenza, Rocco and Paulie are going on their drive through NYC, he warns Paulie: "Watch out for the kids while you're backin' out", because even though they're on a Paulie-killing-trip, he doesn't want a scratch on his car if it hits his kids.
- Later when Rocco messed up Paulie's car with all the blood, Rocco and Clemenza are so scared, they run away like cowards and don't tell any-body.
- After Sonny is being shot, the Barzini gangsters take their time to put a brand-new windshield into the car.
- The worst villain in the whole Trilogy, of course, is Fabrizio who destroyed Michael's car in Sicily. When he realizes that is car is irreparably broken, he just whispers (in the deleted scene): "Get me Fabrizio!"
