dental stud, i feel what youre saying man. i am definitely going to lighten up on the car protectiveness. dont feel sick man, i got no bags for you to puke in.
i envy what you probably have, which is an ability to live with dents. i can do so and have been doing so but its just annoying when dings and stuff keep happening out of nowhere. and youre right ITS A CAR, which is worth a lot more than our other posessions, and if your on this forum that means you care about your maxima..and though dents are jus small things they do cost a bit of money to be removed.
HANDS UP! SHOW ME YOUR DENTS! you my friend, put the 'dent' in dental. take care

Not going to Six Flags because you "don't want to park there", throwing acorns at your FATHER'S HEAD because he jokingly did to your car and caused no damage, doing hundreds of dollars in damage by keying all over your neighbor's car as "payment" for the small ding in yours....grow up. Have a little fun with your car. Take it places. Go on trips, park it, and live your life! Respect your father and love your neighbor, even if they're oblivious sometimes. This thread makes me sick. No car is worth this...even a Ferrari, and a Ferrari the Maxima ain't.

Then people brag about how much they spent on their cars and start whining and crying when they say their girlfriends left. Ohhh ... and I love it when people say, "People come and go, but the Maxima will always be there for you."

well here it is my ex gf decides she wants to drive my 3rd gen when i still had it so i let her. here are the chain of evens that lead to me telling her to pull into a parking lot and switch she starts the car, puts on her seat belt ok pretty normal, then she proceeds to start the car again. 
yikes what a nasty sound. im like ahhhhhhhhhh?!?!?!?!?!?! ok she might be nervous. she pulls out of the drive way and we go down the street, she ask me if my car is broken. "i thought a maxima would have more power then this. she says" then it dawns on me i looked down and low and behold "THE E BRAKE IS STILL UP!?!?!?!?!?!?!" she was driving 2 blocks with the ebrake up. by now im like OMG dipping my head in disbelief and then the car shakes violently as we cross a intersection like a freaking boat. you guessed it there was a dip at the intersection and she rolls over it with out angle without slowing down. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats it pull over your joy ride is over. it was lowwered on stock 15" with intrax.
unless someone can exibit the same love for there car they will not be touching mine.
to alot of guys there cars are there pride and joy.
oh by the way in parking lots i find other hooked up cars to park next to. cause chances are they will be very careful with there car so in turn its like protection for your car.

I am kinda picky about where I park my car. I like to avoid someone dinging my door as much as possible so I try to look for a nice car to park next to and avoid the 2 door cars as well.
I also just got these diamond cut clear front corner signal lights for my car and it amazes me how EASY it was to install as well as how EASY it will be to just pop them out and steal them.

Newbie at AAC (**** About Cars) meeting...
"Hi! My name is Norman and I"m **** about my car. I park miles away in mall lots and my pregnant wife and 3year old triplets have to trudge through 3ft of snow in the blizzard to reach the entrance. This obsession is killing my marriage, I've lost my job and my kids have disowned me. Please..please help me!"
It is funny guys, but unnecessary door dings bug the *&^%$@# out of me. People that slam my doors drive me nuts. People that (attempt) to place body parts/hand bags/coffee/cans on my Max drive me ballistic!!
Some people just don't give a s**t about cars, but it costs real money for one, so why not take care of it?

Can't say I'm as **** as some of you guys here. LOL.
My gf definitely comes first. She lives in the city so I end up have to parallel park a lot. No avoiding scratches on the bumpers. Especially after several years of use.
Luckily she doesn't drive and doesn't even have a license.
I have two rules when I go to the mall.
1. Don't park at the end of a row. - pictures some idiot not paying attention as he's driving down the side road. -
2. Don't park next to those HUGE SUV's. Can they make em any bigger!! How do they expect people to get outta their car next to those?!

Guys, out of all of you I'm probably the sickest one. I can truthfully say that I love my car more than I love my girlfriends. I don't know why, it's not even about the money, it's about my pride and joy. Here's an example so you'd know I'm more **** about my car than any of you: I live in NYC and drive across 3 boroughs everyday, I have 18's and I'm very carefull about the potholes so here's the unbelievable thing: I know exactly the road situation everywhere I go, I know every pothole, every uneven curb, every manhole on the road, everywhere I drive. Sounds crazy and unbelievable but it's true and takes no effort from me whatsoever. I had this car (99 SE) for more than a year and I've never put the pedal to the metal. Never had the need to.
