Interesting thread.
I've been obsessing over getting a MINI for the past month, and when I took my car out of the parking garage in NYC I noticed a deep scratch & gouge in my new bumper (I was rear ended last year and it was replaced) it was not hit once but twice while parked in the parking garage. Those of you in NYC know that they are tight spots here. So it got me thinking of this thread and just how I would feel if I had my new MINI...
and it made me think that I didn't want the car because of some one else's carelessness. So I continued the thought for 24 hours. I would deprive myself of something that I wanted because I made other lifestyle choices like living in Manhattan. No sirree!!! I got out of that funk and decided. It's just a car. It's just like anything else that I have. It's going to get ding'd scratched bumped. If I can't accept that it will happen to it, then I won't ever own a car that I want or care about.
And if I did that... then the careless people have won...
