I think anyone one here would be guilty of looking back at their cars. We are all modders on here for crying out loud!

As far as all the parking galivantics you guys endure - all I can say is "Relax! Enjoy life - don't stress about dings! It's a chance to paint the car for crying out loud! "

I never park away unless a parking lot is not full and there are tons of empty spots - otherwise I always park in between cars. Life is too short to stress about dings. So far, my car has never been dinged. (crossing fingers now).

Every time I park, and sometimes when somebody has the nerve to park next to me when I went out of my way to park away from everyone else, I will watch them until they exit the car to make sure they dont touch my GS4. I've moved a few times because some a-hole thought parking half an inch from my car would be alright. I dread the day I see someone door-ding my car - I know I'll be taken away in handcuffs for whatever actions I take - either a thorough keying of their car or just giving them a quick "nose-job." j/k of course...

I'm guilty like you all. The worse is I will sit there and watch someone gettinginto or out of the car enxt to me, waiting for them to touch my car.

Last week I was at work on my day off and I pulled inot the service drive. Well this guy comes in to have his car serviced with no appointment, so they tell him it will be a minute. The JACK@$$ leans on my car, while it's sitting there in front of me and running. I wanted to kill him . I asked my boss to tell him to move since I wouldn't do it too nicely.

having my Aristo stolen once in Japan, I am freaking paranoid about my GS4 now. I check it in the middle of the night just to make sure its still there.
