NEVVVVER!Ultimately it's a car, and if you drive it, it's going to take some kind of damage over its life. The OP will come to accept that eventually, I think.
I wish I had my Fitbit. I'd definitely be in the top 95th percentile for steps given my parking behaviors recently. My favorite move is the "just the tip" of straddling the parking line so that I'm 75% in one spot and 25% in the other while also being about a football field away from the store.Need to go to Costco, afraid asshole will hit it
I hope you're well after the accident. I totally am with you on every car/object feeling so close. I gave a lot of dirty looks to people that seemed like they were thinking of drifting into my lane.I was still recovering from my recent nasty wreck that totalled my S a couple weeks prior so the bubble feeling of the 3 low dash was really creeping me out. Felt like I was too close to everyone, going too fast, blinkers were weird, etc.
I think I'm going to drive the infamous Mulholland Drive this weekend. I'm getting a frontal wrap done on Friday+Saturday so I'll be ready for a nice, hopefully calming, Sunday drive.Charge the car. Pick a road. Or don't pick a road and randomly wander. Enjoy the road.
