Starting to get fed up....
 
Not sure if anyone else feels the same way I do, but for whatever reason, no matter how hard I try to keep this car perfect, it's impossible. I try to be as careful as possible and yet I have a scrape, a few nicks, and a curbed wheel. The worst part about it is that I want to fix every little thing that's wrong with the car and it costs me a fortune. I'm almost coming to the realization that no matter how hard I try, something will always happen to my cars. Sorry for the rant, but I really needed to vent, lol.

If you drive it, that kind of stuff is going to happen. If you wanna have a garage queen that you only drive every other weekend for a couple hours, maybe you can keep it nice.

Accept the fact that it's just wear and tear. Then maybe you won't feel so bad.

the joys of having a car...this stuff happens, and yes it sucks when it does. i remember 3 weeks into getting my last car, someone backed into my driver side door...and took off.
you can either spend the money to fix it or leave it be.

sux about the curbed wheel though, that would probably pain me the most. knock on wood, my z is still in good shape..holding my breath....

Try enjoying it, and stop treating it like it belongs in a Museum... common sense normally keeps your car safe when driving it around, and finding where to park it safe... that's the price of having a nice car... enjoy...

if this is your dd, dont sweat it. things will happen to it. that's why it's a dd.

get a beater for dd if you want to keep your fun car in pristine shape.

If you expect to keep it perfect then you are going to have to make the car a garage queen. And you also better buy a beater if you keep the 370Z as a garage queen.

And then you also better get used to making car payments on something you can only look at and not leave the garage with. And then you better be prepared to listen to the wife complaining about paying all that money for something that you cannot use or enjoy because it has to be confined to the garage all the time.

Or you can very simply just get a life and get over your neurosis...
