Am I Being Unrealistic?

Paranoid owners change their oil themselves and do their best to avoid the dealer at all costs.
You've got a lot more than seating position to worry about.

This...

I dropped my car off one time for a consumption test and was so paranoid I took about 20 digital pics of the entire exterior and interior.

I don't let anyone drive the car... hell when I had the tires changed I brought them the wheels off the car so they couldn't scratch the lug holes.

And yes you are being unrealistic... infact we all are... we treat a car like it is life's greatest possesion. It's just a car at the end of hte day.

Took the words out of my mouth!!

Change the oil yourself... I had to have work done at Nissan with my 350Z and they put a nick in one of my Volk rims and cracked one of my airwalker Japan sideskirts.... Needless to say it was my last visit to Nissan.

They paid me around $1000 for "fixing" the items so no complaints BUT rather then stressing just do it yourself best and ONLY way i do things on my car.

Nah....no problem! But I have a question for you. The last time I drove through Danbury, I sure didn't see any pelicans....flamingos, dolphins, nor alligators for that matter. Am I missing something!

I hate others driving my car as well but, tough. If somebody is working on my car they need to drive it to see if it cured. Not on an oil change except in and out of the bay.

A cigarette wielding 400 pound fellow is where I would leave. Smoking is unacceptable in my vehicile.
