YES, so now I have a beater and no worries ever going to Walmart, I am now the fear of other fine cars......

Well believe it or not yesterday I was on the fwy going to see the misses and merged over to the other lane. I heard a bunch of rocks hitting my car coming from the minivan in front of me and one hit my windshield and left a dent. I now have 3 on the windshield. Today I got my very 1st ding after owning the car for 2 yrs. Went to my local panda express and went to buy food. Was only in there for 10min max and when I come out there was a ding on my passanger side door. It was a different car when I came back out so I dont know which car dinged me. Did I stress about it? Not really. Was I mad? Yes of course but I am gonna buy some touch up paint and see if it helps otherwise gotta take it to a body shop. I mean I park far away like everyone else trying to find island parking spots but you gotta realize thats it gonna happen to u whether u like it or not. I still baby the car and all but its my only car.

I'd be more worried about leaving a civic overnight, at the movies, etc. than the Z. I have seen so many of my friends hondas get stolen, sometimes parked jus a few spaces away from my Z. But I definitely do stress over door dings etc. and park as far from everyone else as I can.

It does kinda stress me out at times - like parking and leaving her. And I just curbed the 2nd rim today in a stupid parking lot with construction and little room for maneuverability. $200 to get two rims refurbished.

However, the good times far outweigh the stress. I love my Z. She is my baby.
