How to get over leaving your car unattended.

I recently just got a new 06 Honda civic which is my first car, anyways I notice that I get really paranoid when I'm leaving my car in the parking lot or when I'm sitting in the car and some pulls up next to me lol I know I'm probably acting like a retard. I'm I the only one that does this? I used to make fun of my dad for always taking so long to park now I realize I'm the same way trying to avoid parking next to people cars and don't look like they care what happens to there doors and such. Is this just a phase new owners go through or I'm I just over dramatic???

Thought I'd give an example of something that happen, a lady parked next to me today and when she got out i thought it sounded like she hit my door but she said she didn't and I looked and there wasn't any damage but I took her plate down just incase.

if ur so paranoid, buy a beater. park it sideways, on the line, upside down, all you want, and the best part is, you wont be paranoid.


and if that isnt your cup: DONT DRIVE

your dad fucked with your head.

even if some asshole dings your car, it's not like you can REALLY do anything about it anyways, besides if you got some muscle of you you can beat their ass. But law-wise, nobody gives a fuck about the tiny ding in your door, they are called parking lot dings for a reason. Hit em back if they hit you with their car. Better yet, carry a gun, and fucking shoot yourself when it happens then you wont need to worry anymore.

Who's the ignorant douche that said its just a civic? Give the guy a break its his FIRST CAR. Sure its not $50,000, not all of us have that kinda cash to wipe our asses with.

Anyway, op its not just you. When I first got my car I didnt like having it out of my sight.
I'm still paranoid with parking next to people. Whenever I go out I always take the extra few mins to find a spot far away from others, or find a larger spot so the ppl that dont give a shit have tons of space to be dicks about opening their doors.

if your car is a dd, be prepared for dings scratches and dents. also, its a civic, people generally buy them so they dont have to give a shit about things like this.

I'm like that too. I always try to park in a slot that only has one adjacent slot so there's less chance of getting hit. Also park away from other cars etc.

I've been dinged already and it sucked at first but I got used to it. Its especially bad if its your FIRST CAR and its never been hit yet.

Agreed. When I first got a car, I was always excited to look at it, and whenever I parked it I tried to find a space with no cars beside it. After a while I got a few dings... not very happy about them but it's life.

Some other dude says "...its a CIVIC" implying that the OP shouldnt give two shits..

So I said dont be so ignorant, its his very first car. He's going to be protective of it no matter if its a civic or a lexus.

Man babysitting is hard sometimes.

Same, I've got a couple little dings on my passenger side, one of which I acquired at last year's revscene spring meet (ironically)
Sure I hate seeing them but they're there now. However i still try my best to avoid getting more

i thought you're worried about theft
if you park away from people because you're scared of dings that is definately borderline OCD

Dings are normal. Learn to deal with it.

The only reason why you should be paranoid about your car is if you're afraid of it getting stolen, or you have a really expensive paintjob. The car is stock. Just give yourself ample room and lock the doors.

IMO an '06 Civic is a pretty good first car. Mine was 12 years old by the time I got it. hahaha

As stated, it's gonna get dinged, scuffed chipped, etc. - not a lot you can do about it. Enjoy the car and take care of it as best you can.

Now if it's theft/vandalism you're worried about, go get yourself a paging alarm.

the solution for your paranoia is: go get a few dings. after your 5th one, you just wont care anymore and you can live a happy life. Seriously, even to filler + repaint your door is worth less than the frustration you'll suffer thinking about it. Worse comes to worse, repaint ur doors every year. But go get a few dings and it wont bug you anymore. You must have OCD. haha

Minor dings and scratches on a civic isn't going to affect the resale value whatsoever on a civic. The types of people who buy those cars second hand are those that can care two shits about it because they are going to be using it as their DD. Only when you get into the 50k+ cars people start caring about dings/scratches etc and even then it's not going to be a deal breaker as long as you have proper maintenance records.

It's just a civic, not a Ferrari pal. Calm down.
