Have you been able to enjoy your car yet?
 

I am slowly getting over the new car feeling with my car and actually relaxing when I take it out for a drive but.... I still will not park in a mall, I almost freaked out today because in the local park some little kids rode their uncoordinated bike bodies oh so close to her. I walked in some mud and was worried I would scratch the pedals...and I won't park under a tree because of the local birds that love to drop their dung on to my vehicle. Am I the only one who has these type of worries and will I ever get used to owning such a nice car?

I always park way out in the back of parking lots, even if I have to walk a mile so no one comes close to my baby.

Lol, thank god i'm not the only one...im 17 and when i drive my parents car,even though its not even new i still park far from other cars,avoid trees, and try to keep the car all by itself in its little spot....my brother is the same way. Its a normal thing...and for a car as nice as the 8..u need to take precuations.:cool:

That's why it hurts so bad when you get the first ding, scratch, or rock chip. How did this happen?! Who hurt you?! I must know!! Just call it love and enjoy. :D

I am somewhat over the new car aspect, but I am still amazed at the car each time I drive it. I have a 14 year old motorcycle that is on the road after the winter and its a similar reaction. Its fun to drive both of those vehicles. Now when I drive our van it feels like a bus.

My car has a weak-baseball-impact dent, and I don't know who did it, when it happened, or what caused the dent. I have always parked the car far from other vehicles, except once I had to park it on the street north of Chicago, and the dent was noticed after that. Its hard to see, and my co-worker pointed it out to me after I returned from Chicago. My other cars always had parking lot dents, and given where I must drive and park, I assume there are more dents on the way.

Picked up my new 8 last Tthursday. Stopped at Home Depot to pick up a few things today - couldn't have parked farther away...excellent walk back to her after shopping - the best looking car in the lot by far. I will probably get over it in a few months, but it is a great feeling now. Love my 8.

I have a three seperate skuffs in my driver side door that are close enough that they may have been caused by on rock. having recently waxed my "8", I saw a few divets in the front bumper. The nature of the beast when you drive it. I'll find someone that can make these spots go away eventually...

I still park where I can hog a parking space weather it's at the front of the enc of a row. But as for enjoying my "8". Been doing that since 12/1/3 when I picekd it up!

I park in BF nowhere, and am overly cautious in maintaining it, but drive it like I stole it.

I used to enjoy driving - and I mean "driving, whatever vehicle", but there are just too many cops out there, if you know what my problem is.

I enjoy mine everyday. I just get mad every weekend when I wash her and I see all of the chips (from road rocks). I figure a week of smiles is worth a couple of hours of being mad :) After I wash her I make shure to take a nice drive to get the smile back on my face.

I'm like winter - baby the hell out of it in the driveway, park out in BFE, but drive it like I stole it everytime. I just can't help myself! :)
