How Careful are you about your Celi?, and does your girl care? Options

[Coomer]

Hi,
Last night my girlfriend and I were fighting, because she thinks that my car is more important to me than her. Basically, I'm wondering if you guys are as careful(or more careful) than me about my car.

1. Do you guys park pretty far from other cars in parking lots, even if it means you have to walk further to get into wherever you're going? I usually park back in parking lots where I can be at least three spaces away from other cars, so that I don't get door dings, and so that it's more obvious if someone is doing stuff to my car. Every single time I pull in to a parking spot, she immediately groans and proceeds to complain about how obsessed I am with my car. She generally complains about how far of a walk it is as well, and if I offer to drop her off when I initially pull into a parking lot, she says it's not the walk, but my obsession that irritates her.

2. Do you guys not allow people to eat in your car? I usually don't let people eat in my car, and I especially try to get my girl to not eat in my car, because she is the messiest eater. She will either spill stuff everywhere, or get stuff all over her fingers and then wipe them on my passenger seat. So when I go to McDonalds and stuff with her, I always want to park and eat inside. Again, every single time I pull in to a parking spot, she immediately groans and proceeds to complain about how obsessed I am with my car. What made her furious was when I told her, "If I get racing seats, no-one is even gonna drink anything in my car besides water." We got into a huge fight over that one too.

Do you guys think that I'm too obsessed with my car and I shouldn't care so much about it? Is everyone as careful as me, or am I just too obsessed?

Protip: Get a girl that likes cars as much as you. My girlfriend wants to modify MY car with HER money.

a lot of people seem to like that, but that's not me. i like girlie girls. mmmmm. my gf doesn't give a damn about cars, just the ones that look nice.

as far as her and my car go, sure she has her little spurts, but it's ok, that's part of a relationship. she's not much one for riding in my car to begin with, but who can blame her, she's used to her stock grand am, then she gets in my celi dropped to the ground. the ride quality isn't the same to her. me? i love the ride of my car 10-fold over her's, but it's all about personal preferences. as far as eating and parking goes, my car already has dings and what not in it, so i really don't fret too much about that, and i let people eat/drink inside, as my car is still a work in progress...anything that gets messed up, is likely on the list to get changed anyway. . anywho, coomer, it's all good, it's all personal opinions, and your girl obviously does not agree w/ you on your practice w/ your car. but disagreeing in relationships is commonplace, and the only thing you can do is agree to disagree, and agree that you both love each other and that it is worth the trouble of your trivial differences. .
