love. my. car.

I haven't been as unlucky as you lately, but sometimes trouble just seems to pile up in one short period. Maybe it's all over for awhile. But keep enjoying your car, if it ends up not perfect, nobody will notice but you, so enjoy it like the rest of the world would if they could have your car, even with a ding!

Obviously you shouldn't have a Camaro. Please give me your address and I will come and take it off your hands ASAP.

I'm probably NOT the one to ask.............
BUT.......... My Camaros are everything to me...... Yes - I do get company vehicles - and while it makes me crazy to drive a dirty car - and while I hate to see nicks and dents - I find that I was MUCH more protective of "Thor" and "Thor V 2.0" - and now "Helios" -- even in GM's parking deck (with ridiculously narrow parking spaces) - I find that I park on the end of a row - where I can 'straddle' the line so that no one will hit the doors of 'handsome 'ol Helios' - It didn't bother me as much with the Tahoe or the SRX or the DTS or any other number of vehicles over the past years... I used to park "Thor" and "Thor V 2.0" nearly on the top floor - next to a pillar - it was a regular parking spot next to a very wide Handicapped spot that no one ever uses - and this way I was pretty much assured that they would not get hit. So yes - I think there are those of us out there that see our Camaros as our "Pride and Joy" (........or, in my case - my kids!......) Tidbit: I remember driving "Thor" on I-75 south of the Motor City one evening - this was before the new Camaro was in showrooms -- and horror of horrors, a Grand Cherokee kicked up a large piece of truck tread and propelled it into Thor's front fascia. Thor immediately transformed and crushed the Grand Cherokee!!! (...........ok, I made that last part up........ I was just sick - but when I got home, I got the polish out - and the black marks came off of his fascia - and get this: no scratches or nicks or anything...you could not tell it ever happened!!!

I feel your pain. This is mainly the reason why I have gone through over 40 cars in 22 years of driving. If it ain't as perfect as when it left the showroom, I lose interest. Perfectionist with OCD.

If it is any consolation, it will get better with time. Like many here, mine is my daily driver, and one weak spot on the Camaro seems to be the paint (doesn't help that it is black, but I wouldn't trade that for anything.) So yes, it WILL get minor injuries, and I've resigned myself to a new paint job in 5 years or so anyway. Once you realize this, it becomes easier. What's the point of having it if you can't drive it - and if you drive it, this kind of thing WILL happen.

I have had the truck tread chucked at my car already too. I have only had it 2 months. I got that nausiating feeling in my stomach when it happen and I got mad shortly after and felt like I was on fire. When I got home I immediately buffed out the marks it left. I haven't had any issues since.
I too am concerned about where I leave my car. At work I park at the very end stall hugging the line on the one side. That leaves optimal space to stay away from other cars. At first I parked almost anywhere but I got a door ding within 3 weeks. I wasn't going to have that happen again. Haven't seen one since. It is perfectly normal to be worried about your car.

No you are not alone.
Barry Meguiar pinned a term, he called it/us "Car Crazy". It fits and it's lots of FUN with lots of like minded people! Welcome! Oh, by the way it's usually a life time passion!
