I'll tell you, the easiest want to get over the stress is to get into an accident. I bought an absolutely PERFECT nsx with 35K miles. 6 months into it, I get into an accident and had to replace some panels. Now, 50K miles later, car is still my daily driver, I have rock chips galore on the front and guess what, I've LOVED every worry free mile i've put on. I dont worry about dings and scratches, i dont park the car miles away from every other car, I take the car to Walmart, McDonalds, I've parked it overnight many times in East Palo Alto (should mean something to bay area folks)... no problem. The car has 1 or 2 paint chips from door dings, the car has lots of paint chips on the front, but hey, its worth it to have the enjoyment of driving the NSX around every day.
In a lot of ways, I'm almost thankful for the accident, it's helped me enjoy my car far more than I would have otherwise.
