It's a similar story with my dad's Civic X. It's an 8 year old car now, and esp in the last few years, he has scuffed and dinged it up good. I keep telling myself that at some point if he screws up big enough, I'm gonna get my mom and my brother to gang up on him, and "convince" him to give up driving. So far, it hasn't come to that, and I am really glad it hasn't come to that yet.
I know that in some cases, once you take away a senior's driving privilege, they really go downhill fast.
Like I said, I am totally not looking forward to that day. And when that day comes, I don't even know what I'm gonna do with a dinged up senior car like that either.

Still drives real nice though - great little motor and the auto has really good programming. Not bad for a 2007 car.
