So you can have multiple cars with door dings? Or do you bring an envoy of your cars around to protect each other whenever you go out?

i just leased BMW 3 series. a few months ago, and i love the car and everything but i don't care as much, and its less stress to have to think about were to park or avoiding pop holes.

i got into a bad accident with the bimmer a few months ago and didn't even care about how it would effect the resale value cuz its just a lease

I think he just buys a new car once the one he's driving gets a door ding. Money well spent!

I thought it was because they were both American cars...you need a spare for when the other is in the shop.

Kidding aside...

I was torn between the new Camaro and the Z. I'm waiting for the 550hp Camaro and then I'll sell my S2k to pick one up.

ZL1

Not sure it will be worth the asking price though. My all time favorite car is the '69 Camaro. This is like a modern version of it. I could resist the SS (Z was a better car for the price...for me anyway) but you get it to 550hp for around $50k and it's quite tempting. I bet dealers will mark it up way too much for me to be interested though. Personally I think $45k is the most I would be willing to pay.

Too bad it can't transform too...

the price will come down. ya the 370z is probably better value than the SS i understand that. but like you said the ZL1 will be one BA ride.

I thought having a "second car" would solve the problem, too. So I bought a new Altima Coupe but I wound up being just as a careful with it! Sorry, but money comes too hard to be careless the things it buys---just a character trait that's never going to change.

If you are truly carless, it should not matter how others park.

i honestly do not care if somebody dings my daily driver car once in a while. its just a car in the end. plus its a lease. dings are really not that bad, you could probably fix most of them your self.
