You better believe I will

What I cant believe on a side note is that for this car 500 deductible and zero deductivle for comprehensive that I am only paying 67.00 a month...on my Eclipse I had a 1000 ded and 1000 comprehensive and it was 65.00 a month...I thought this car would of been much higher because its brand new and my eclipse was a 1997 model

This is the third new car I have owned and I always feel that way all the new and used cars I have owned. I am always parked in the back.

Insurance, insurance, insurance. If someone is going to mess with it, there is nothing you can do. Don't stress, insurance covers vandalism. I'm kinda excited to get this car. I was never able to take my last car anywhere for fear of it getting stolen. Wasn't really scared of it getting stolen, I just didn't want to have to walk home. :D

That's exactly how I feel about my car out in public. This is the second New car I've owned and the first one I was also paranoid, but not nearly as paranoid as my xB. The thing is, this car is so unique looking that it grabs alot of attention. And when there's vandal's around looking for trouble you better believe they'll see your car first.

Also, the thing about insurance full coverage, it's no doubt a wonderful thing but it still sucks if someone vandalized your car and you have to have a repaint or a repair. There's something about non-factory that I dislike. Especially paintjobs! Non factory paint jobs are never the same. They're generally not as tough which means they don't last as long and they also scratch and chip easier than factory paint. Well, this may not be true but it's what I've seen so far. Even souped up cars at car shows with their repaints aren't as good as factory paint from what "I've seen". Next time you see a car with a custom paint job, check it out at an angle and look at the reflective lights and reflections. You can see the difference. :D

I am also one who is a little nervous when I park my Box anywhere.I have owned several car's over the year's including a few luxury car's that were pretty expensive car's.I do have insurance but still it is my vehicle with my stamp of style and customization on it.And for someone to mess with it would be just sickening.But like everyone said that's why you pay for insurance.I have come out of the shopping mall etc and seen car's driving around my box or people walking out of there way to check it out.I usually park way out in no man's land to avoid door ding's etc.But what are you going to do,if someone want's to steal it or damage it they will.Just try and enjoy the Box and try not to worry.Peace.

The Box is pretty much loaded out.
