I know what its like to have those dreams. The 1st Porsche that I purchased was a 3 year old 911SC, guards red and perfect, from a Porsche dealer. I was living in Hermosa Beach (south of LA), and continuously feared that someone would ding the doors or steal the car or rip off the stereo, etc. Since my insurance deductible in those days was $1000 (in 1985 that was a lot of money to me) any damage to this car was unaffordable. After 1 1/2 years of sweet driving but many sleepless nights, I finally sold the car and bought a new VW GTI. I actually felt relieved in doing so. In spite of the worrying over the Porsche, I never did experience any malicious damage to it or even incurred a door ding. However, on the 2nd day of owning the new GTI someone "keyed" it while parked at work.
Now with my Boxster "S", which also has no door dings or scratches, I do not worry so much. I even let my wife drive it to the mall and grocery store during the week (of course under strict instructions to park it far away from everyone, if possible). I have really changed.
