On the other end, you just have to realize its just a car, and won't last forever. Use it, have fun, take care of it within reason, and you'll love it. Don't be too OCD about it or you'll end up constantly wondering about it, checking it, wiping it clean, etc, and won't be happy because you'll be worried.
