add me to the list. EVen my Dealer laughs at me. But I don't give a s***. My car is my main hobbie. And also my 2nd largest investment. I take care of my cars because I want to, and I know that a well taken care of car is much easier to trade it, sell etc for a new car every 2-3 years 
I always get top dollar for my cars, and I'm known for them being in impeccable shape. I too park in furthest spot at malls, stores etc. If I'm eating in, I'll pick a spot that's both far away, but I can still see it from where I'm eating. I even park a certain way next to my own house so that it's out of sight from the road, but yet I can see it. While I'm at work, I often check the car to make sure nobody is ******* with it. And it pays off, I have caught many an asshole, and prevented many bad things from happening. Trust NOBODY. Not even familiy, and friends because most peoples attitude is....it's just a car.

Ive been told that. There was some idiot breaking into houses and cars at night and I wanted to park my car right next to my window in the grass so I would hear it if the alarm went off and see what was going on before the ass had a chance to run for it but my mom tweeked. Shes like you arent going to park that damn thing in the yard and **** up my grass. I said well would you rather pay to replace the hundreds of dollars I have in my stereo or let the grass grow back?
I think I've had every one of those same conversations at some point. (lol)
Everytime anyone asks why I care so much about where I park,
I respond, "You see those dings/chips/scratches (whatever is applicable) on your 1 year old car?"
they say, "yeah".
I say, "Don't you hate them?"
They say, "Yeah, they suck."
I say, "Do you see any on my 3 year old car?"
They say, "No'
I say, "That's why."
The topic never seems to come up again.

Bah, dont matter where i park. I park the farthest away, and some asshole will ALWAYS park RIGHT next to me. And its never a BMW, or Audi or Benz. no its a ****** sh*tbox Geo Metro or some s***. Yeah and my car gets egged every couple of months too, right in front of my house. Once it got egged while i was outside working on it. Yeah. Fuckers.

I would rather have a normal car stand beside mine then some beemer or mercedes, most of those people have plenty of cash for repairs, so a litlle dent is no problem for them.I am very thankfull for my garage, my garage windows are tinted because there used to be a dick who kept staring threw the window and checking out the car.Maybe he likes it and wants to see it, but maybe he'll steal it when he gets the chance.When it comes to my car, don't **** with her.YOU SMASH MY CAR I'LL SMASH YOUR FACE is my motto. 
That's why you keep a loaded shotgun in your garage, and if they ever get cocky enough to do it again while you're out there...Dexter said:
I say to hell with them all! All my friends and almost everyone at my school knows it's all business when it comes to my car. They know this since last year when I found a freshman outside my car holding a key in his hand, I threw him on the ground. Still don't know if he was going to... well you know. Of course he was like WTF I was just looking at it. I didn't buy it for a second. Told him to get up and get the hell on his bus fast. Whenever we have a manditory state fire drill once a month, I always stand right by my car. Kids are not to be trusted. Ever.

No man... not here in toronto.
Ppl with Bimmers and Benz, their car's metal is stronger than ours (or sterotypically it is). So they end up denting my door and nothing happens to their car.
Grrrr

yes. i dodge puddle or wet spots on the road after i wash my car, i hide my deck, and i always close my windows and sunroof, i don't leave my trunk open for a long time so ppl don't see the subs in it, and same thing for the hood so they don't see the intake and header etc, i dodge manhole covers so i don't wreck my rims and i plan my routes ahead so that i don't run into bad streets/roads.
I had to leave the movie Troy during one of the action scenes just because I thought I might have left one of the windows partially rolled down... It only took 5 minutes but gave me 3 hours of peace of mind
Yeah, the guys at the tire/wheel places without fail tell me every time that I'm too paranoid about my car...
