Every worry too much?

Princey · 12 Apr 2011 at 21:50

No, I have no choice as i simply have no room for it. I knew it'd store it before I got it.

Sounds like it causes a lot more stress than pleasure, get rid of it.

Sell it. You'll feel infinitely better for it.

No point owning a car like that if you cant let yourself enjoy it!

You going to feel any more confident having it in some random self-storage yard that's some walk away?

indeed.

sell it.

If you are worrying this much about it then it is too valuble for your situation. Sell it and buy something at a level which you wont care - as ultimately a car should not be something you worry about.

I have a brand new mini aswell but I've had the monaro 6 months now and done 3000miles and that was through the pot holed and gritted winter I guess I should stop worrying as though I expect it to be a shot blasted wreck after a drive.

Then don't own it. Seriously, storing your car a 10 minute walk away? Why even have it?

I want a pet elephant but I don't have room for that in my life, so I dont have one

It's a 10 minute drive or roughly 6 miles.

I thought it was a 10 minute walk :eek:

You are going to store your car 6 miles from your house?

Whats the point?

This ^^

Having a nice car is something that should bring you pleasure. It sounds like it isn't. Obviously all petrolheads worry about their car (i certainly do!) but for most people it only involves parking defensively, or not parking down a narrow side street, or avoiding pot holes. Your situation sounds abnormal - try to relax a little!

Because even though I worry I adore it and it's just irrational thinking on my behalf to sell it. I'll learn to accept it'll pick up marks.

Apologies if you've covered this already but when you say you don't have space to store it - does this mean there's actually nowhere to park it closer to the house or do you mean nowhere that you'd feel comfortable leaving the car?

Princey · 12 Apr 2011 at 22:11

Both, there isn't a drive at my new place and I already have a mini, a hyundia coupe and a Ka there.

Get rid of the corn beef tin and the Ka?

Princey · 12 Apr 2011 at 22:13

They aren't mine apart from the Mini which is a company car.
