Daily Driver question??
Have you ever got to the point where you have modded your car so much that you are afraid to drive it to certain places? Do you feel comfortable driving your street/strip, weekend warrior, or show car to the movies or to the mall?
A lot of people say "its just a car, your insurance will take car of it". Not true for us. The insurance company can never replace the time(and a lot of other things)we put into our cars. |
All the time. I wanted to killed the little girl who rearended my car. And then to find out she had no insurance I was like wtf! But ya I would hate to see anything happen to my car.

I park at the edge of parking lots all the time, but even still I'm nervous

lol, thats kinda funny. my stang isnt a daily driver partly for that reason, too many people i know have gotten their cars broken into around here. when i take it places at night i make sure and park it under the lights or in broad view. but most of the time i take the explorer if im going someplace i'd worry about. i drive my explorer to work just for the wear and tear. my stang sits in a garage when it's not being driven. safe and secure. |

I worrry about door dings and such, but, a big percent of the time the car next to you will be a driver only. So I usually (escpecially at work) Give a little extra room to the next cars driver side. Hopefully most people do care about banging their door on yours.. :shifty:

on the down side, i have THREE fuggin door dings on my driver side door :( |
Whatever you do....don't park your car in Tucson AZ. The people here do not care at all.....they'll ding your door in a hearbeat and act like nothing ever happened.
|
ill kick someones panel in if they door ding my shiit and i find out that its their car. i look on both sides before I take off if someone parks on either side.

Yesterday it looked like it was gonna rain, so I took the iroc. Stang only sees sunny days and no trips to busy parkinglots. I have had my fair share of digs and scrapes on other vehicles, so the stang doesn't see much action.
In regards to the first post, I do sometimes feel that I don't enjoy the car enough because I try to keep it nice. I've put approx. 75 miles on it in the last 2 months. |
It was pouring yesterday... took the car around the block with the balled drag radials, going all over the road. Came back, got the truck :loser:
|
when i first got my stang i lived with my mom in not one of the safest areas my dad on the other hand lives in a good area and has a garage so guess what i did :)
|
I have to drive my car to school every single day since I live off campus. It sucks but I have no choice. When it snows the lots get all screwed up and two people have scraped my car so far. :mad:

my stang sucks balls in the rain, but then again they're the cheapest stock toyo's in the world on it, its soo bad when it shifts (and its an automatic) it'll kick out the back end when the roads are wet.
but other than that, I paid the $50 for the parking spot and I got the first one... so that means everyone gets to see my car going to and from school... unlike the football team captain.. i stole his girlfriend anyway-- :punk: |

I think i will just get a Trunk Monkey with the Anti-Road Rage option:

We dont have certain spots at my H.S., first come first served so i park as far as possible away from the dumb F**ks that cant drive... people still see me leave... or at least they see tire smoke

A lot of people say "its just a car, your insurance will take car of it". Not true for us. The insurance company can never replace the time(and a lot of other things)we put into our cars. This is the reason its only been driven 800 miles in 3 years. I wont leave it set someplace more then 10 minutes. If i go into a restraunt i have to set at a window looking at the car. |
i hear what frito says....my stang only sees sunny days, no dirt on the street, etc. but i pay a crapload a month for it and i feel like i dont get to enjoy what i pay for...kinda sucks. on the flipside, i can say that i'm preserving the condition and keeping the miles down--only 23,500 on a 2002....not bad.
