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?

nah, coomer, your not obsessed.

i personally dont park far away, im lazy, but not only does it require less walking, it wastes less time.

as for food, i eat in my car, and my friends are allowed eat little things and have drinks but when something spills, i pull over and have them clean it right away.

my car's paint is not perfect(on scratch through the clear couat on the fended) and small chips here and there but i dont want it to get worse, and when that bitch in the bmw scratched my rear bumber, i scratched both sides of here car(really stands out on black cars)

but what really really pisses me off is mud, which i just let dry and vacuum up(but i do yell at the people who bring it in) and i love how when my mom takes the car out, there are new scratches on it and the tires have been hit on curbs.

my sister also does not car about my car, everytime i pick her up, she throws her 30 poundright on my dash, sometimes making scratches. i would say somethin but then she would tell my mom in a way that would get me in trouble and my mom might get the hammer again!

try to park a little closer just to make her happy, even if it is a little closer, it will show that you respect her oppinion(while not giving in 100%)

now if someone vandalizes my car, that's a different story
