Only Negative of Tl

I found that the only negative in owning this car or for any "nicer" car for that matter is I find myself not driving to certain places because I am worried for the safety of the car. For instance today, it was gorgeous out and had to go to Atlantic City for Fathers Day, brought my wifes civic becuase I know we have to valet where we go. Or, I tend not to drive to certain bars in the area because I am afraid it will get keyed or something. Is this normal. Does anyone else feel my pain?

I feel your pain, but the truth is that you've got to just let go and let the chips fall where they will. Look, you can park in indoor garages and you can avoid the shopping carts at the grocery store, but you can't avoid entire cities LOL.

Well said. I got my car on 6-15 and I have been making excuses to drive it. Besides if im paying 34000 for a car I'm going to use it as much as possible. Not like its a Enzo or Lambo.

I can never see myself garaging a car. Even if I had a $500,000+ car, that thing would never be garaged. Such a machine was built for driving. To me, there is no point in buying an expensive car just to look at it. Granted I might not drive it to go run an errand, but it would probably be driven most of the time.
