Worried

I am going on vacation to Emerald Isle, NC for a week. We will be taking the Subaru, so that means I have to leave the E30 parked out here at my apt complex, and from my previous rant, you can see how people park here at my complex.

this may seem ridiculous, but i am worried people will park crooked, too close and generally maul up the otherwise nearly perfect exterior. and i wont be around to be anal retentive or OCD-ish about it.

i parked it in one of the larger spaces, but that right near where people walk. . .

am i being overly worried?

Dude, pick up a car cover at Pep Boys or Target. They're maybe 30 bucks, and can give you some peace of mind.

Take the bimmer. That'll solve that problem.

The Subaru can afford to take the heat.

For real, some of the idiots at my school man...

Pick up a car cover, and park it in a country club. Park it as far as you possibly can, maybe a friend's house or something?
