My wife is more **** about it than I am. Any little ding she sees on my car she tells me. I've owned the car for 6 years and just letting the little PITA's dings and scratches pile up. I'll get all those worked out in one shot. Besides, I did most of the scratches on the front lip so I don't make a big deal out of her minor scratches from others hatin'.

I have my toys, so my man should be able to have his own toys too. I completely get it. I will voice my opinion if I feel a mod looks tacky though, and I would hope a boyfriend would do the same likewise.

This is how it should be lol.. Mine gets it. I get to use her driveway to wash and wax whenever I want since I don't have room by me. She just makes me sit there and really think about the mods I wanna do and the cost.. O well. lol.

She totally gets it...it's her car

Since it's her car, she totally understands.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 we have was her daily driver. It's front lip is lower than the C63. She knows about backing in to parking spaces, entering driveways diagonally, and keeping away from curbs.

That being said, accidents are going to happen. It's a matter of not wigging out too much. Just being careful.

A lot of how to approach this relates to how you drive. With the collector cars, you drive a lot differently than the street cars. With the C63, we are driving it a bit more like the collector cars.
