Sorry to hear this, John. I feel your pain. It really used to drive me mad when this happened. Like a couple of others here, I've mellowed in general, but also come to accept that cars are going to get dings. Don't like it. It's so wrong. I've just accepted that it's going to happen and shrug it off when it does.
I think when I was younger, my car represented the majority of my net worth. So, I took it very personally when it was damaged. Now my car is a small fraction of my net worth and much less a part of who I am, if that makes any sense.
Even with the above taken into account, I know I'd slip back into my old habits if I were driving a $40K car vs my 2006 Mazda5.
