Don't go out, if you are so scared. Stay at home.

if your parked there is always a chance for it to get dinged... if you want your car to not get scratched then stay home... its the only way you'll guaranty that no one will touch your car.

I'm super paranoid about my car too, it may be a little $500 piece, but I love it and I would hate it if it got stolen. So I can understand why you'd be nervous. It gets better with time. I'm not as nervous now that I've had it for almost a year.

Everyones just hating on the fact that it's a civic sorry my mommy and daddy didn't go buy me a Benz or BMW when I graded. This is my first ride Im excited and I just don't want it getting banged up but it's something I'll oviously get over after the first couple dings. Just because I don't drive a 50,000 plus ride doesn't mean I don't give a shit about my car. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Fact of the matter is, it's commonplace for ANY CAR.

I know exactly what you mean. I was paranoid like crazy first couple weeks I took my car to school but it gets better over time. Even now sometimes if I think someone might have parked too close to me so I keep thinking about it in class or where ever and I've even moved it during the day just because I was paranoid i'm gonna get a ding.

Like many people said... It's only a civic. Who cares.
If anything, you can fix your dings for $100 by professionals.
Just invest in $100, do it at the end of every year. Fixed!

I was like that too when I got my 1st car, but not so much anymore, despite the fact that my current car is more expensive than my 1st car. However, these things are inevitable. Just take note of what cars are parked beside yours and picture yourself getting out of those cars... are their doors likely to ding your own car?
For me, I have more rock chips than door dings so I worry about those more... Mitsubishi paint sucks!  | |

Seriously... all you guys who say "it's just a civic" call yourself car enthusiasts? 
But on topic, there's not much you can do about it, OP, just try and find walls/poles to park beside or park beside a tastefully modded car if you have the choice!

I have so many dings, chips and shit on my TL, but once i saw my bike on the ground, my heart sank in.
I know it is your first car but there is nothing you can do, so just deal with it. Enjoy the car.
Better things to worry about.
I can come key your car to take that initial rock off your chest if you want?

Anyway, op its not just you. When I first got my car I didnt like having it out of my sight.
I'm still paranoid with parking next to people. Whenever I go out I always take the extra few mins to find a spot far away from others, or find a larger spot so the ppl that dont give a shit have tons of space to be dicks about opening their doors. | tats why im telling u to get compustar 2 way  | |

Good thing you don't have a mazda3. You'd have to worry about a foot print/dent on your door. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Never happened to me yet but I know that if it does, all the dings + rock chips + all the minor damages to a car will be nothing compared to seeing your bike on the ground.
But i know how op feels. When i first got my car I couldn't leave it out of my sight. I would park super far just to try to avoid getting dinged.
The most annoying thing is parking your car super far with 100's of spots around you and coming back to your vehicle and seeing cars parked beside you lol.

Door dings and minor scratches can be very easily fixed. People who specialize in fixing door dings will charge about $100 for a few hours of work and can make your car look new. I wouldn't worry about anything minor like that at all. I was a contractor for the used-car industry before, and you wouldn't believe what they could do in detail. They can turn a dinged out car with minor bumper scratches look new for less than a couple of hundred dollars.

Door dings arent bad, walking back to your car to find your front badge is worse. I just happed to drive an 06 civic too. Fucking lowlife badge stealer who goes to BCIT.

by having your first accident you'll start to not give 2 shits about door dings on your car.
