I baby my car but I don't feel it was pointless to buy it because of how I treat my car. I think "babying" a nice car helps keep it in good shape for years down the road.

I babied my Miata and it was in beautiful shape for 17 years before I sold it in July. I credit it's great condition to consistent maintenance and driving her carefully. Nary a ding or dent because I was careful and I drive defensively as much as I can.

I am doing the same with my Crossfire. I want her to be in good shape for a long as possible. Point of buying it? Because I love it.
