Is it worth losing sleep over? Seriously , I hate knowing that a part of my car was flawed, even if unnoticeable, due to my own carelessness.

I did same thing soon after I picked up my car from the dealership. That scraping noise took a lot out of me. It was bound to happen sooner or later. I don't do that anymore but it was a lesson that I have to live with. You will get over it.

I think everyone does this once in a while, celic. You just have to forgive yourself and move on. Try not to pull in all the way in parking spaces, or indeed back in.

True, I guess nothing was meant to stay perfect, like any relationship, it all goes downhill...... But the speed of descent is entirely up to us S2K owners........

I totally understand. I scraped the bottom of my front lip, where there's not seen a week after I got car, and that was upsetting to me. However, cars do get old, and this is bound to happen. For me personally, time makes imperfections easier to handle. When a car is brand new, I worry a lot more about the car, and I am much more anal. Even a mild scratch in my interior bothers me right now, but after the small things start showing up, I finally snap out of it, and laugh at myself for the way I was. I can't wait personally for my S2K to get old.

I scrape things so much that I forget about it. It's not even noticeable.

Yeah, I scraped my front bumper real bad when I was parking on the side of the street after making a U turn, I damn near cried.

4+ years later, I'm still not laughing at myself. Aaargh!
