does anyone else feel like after a while, their car is falling apart? i try to keep it clean and new but so many problems keep adding up im ready to give up. some issues include, hail damage all over top of car (hood, roof, and trunk), rock chips all over bumper, large cracks in front bumper and side, broken wheel splash shields, rust in rear wheel well, faded side moulding piece, tons of clear coat scratches on the rear paint (from crappy paint job after major accident), lots of scratched interior plastics, rattles everywhere, rims have tons of deep scratches and curb rash from the wheel shops being careless, steering wheel is faded, driver seat rocks, floor carpet is dirty, headlights are hazy inside and burnt, exhaust has tons of scrapes and damage, engine bay has alot of broken stuff, front windshield has hundreds or rock chips and at least 5 BIG chips, the plastics under the car are falling off, sideskirt mounts are cracked and one side is loose, driver window squeaks, driver door lock is broken, fabric is falling out of door panel again, cd player face is being held together with scotch tape, sun visor has big gash in the fabric, numerous black molding strips on the outside are coming loose or warped from sun, transmission starting to slip more, tint is starting to peel and tear in some places, numerous door dings all around the sides, im sure there is alot more that i cant remember! LOL. feels like a bad investment spending $17.5k back in 2002. Car is barely 8 yrs old and already feels like its almost dead. maybe i shouldve just got a used car at the time. as much as i try to keep it nice, something new always happens to it!

Honestly that's how I feel. In the past two months my CF has been keyed four times. My car has been a victim of shopping carts being plowed into. It's just one thing after another. Numerous break-ins, paint chipping, my driver door lock is an *******. But the body work is getting horrendous, because of ****ing *******s. I mean yes, It can always be replaced but.. GAH RANT!!

I feel yah gear, i have had 2 accidents one being my fault the other not mine. Car has its imperfections here and there. My front lip is sorta cracked chipped, i still think its a great car and definitely turns heads 
along with running great. I sort of stopped the modding, making some good money at 22 i know i can afford a lexus/bmw but i would rather keep the civic till the engine blows or something else happens to it.
