Ok I'm to addicted to my car....(Kind of funny)

So, my wife keeps telling me that I think to much about my car and put to much time into detailing it and having nothing but fun. Duh, it's a great car to have fun with....
Anyways last night I'm in la la land, having my first real Camaro dream. I'm in the drive way, giving my baby a good car wash, wax and polish. Just like all of us have done. I'm full of joy and happyness as the true shine starts to show. I'm telling you this car is looking goooood.
After my babies bath, I thought oh! what a good time to go out for a fun ride to Target to pick up, what else more car care products...
Now I always park in an area that's away from every other person on the planet. If I was any further from the store front I would be at home 10 miles away.
So after about $60. worth of car stuff I come back out to find someone parked on my driver side. Now I'm getting grumpy becaue I had taken the time to stay away from everyone. Now here is some buttmunch in this 87 AMC Wagon next to my car, and he wasn't nice about his parking job. I had just enough room to barely get in. The Camaro is hard enough to get into if you're tall. Now this was just plain retarded.
So as I get in, a huge gust of wind rips the door out of my hands, it hits this AMC, and all of a sudden the paint job on my driver door just shatters off and falls to the ground. I was mortified!!! I'm thinking Oh my goodness, how the hell do I explain this to my wife and my insurance company....
That's where I woke in a cold sweat, running to the garage to check on my car...

So do I have a serious addiction problem to my car?

I knew it was fake when he said "the door paint came apart in shards" LOL good one

I had a similar one when I had my TSX, where I dreamnt it got jacked from an Airport and by the time I found it, it was gutted up already! I swear to god I don't dream at all, and that was my first dream in almost 2 years. LOL.

I'm passed the freak out stage. It's much easier to deal with when you realise it's GOING to happen. I just drive it and wash it. scratches, nicks, dings, etc....... are no biggie anymore.

I think we're all addicted to our Camaros. That's why we bought them. To fill the void left by our significant others (wives, girlfriends, etc.)
