    Do dents and scratches count?
    I am a merchant marine and am at sea for extended periods of time. My vehicles have always just sat and looked pretty for most of their life. With the occasional romp in the woods, or run to the hardware store.

WISHLIST: a golden canary that poops platinum
    A sad and solitary life of guzzling too much gas and spending her nights in the dark spaces under my building. There are moments in that cold darkness when I believe I hear the faint spark of ignition, the chirp of her alluring alarm, or the tinkle of a shattered window, but when I run to her, she is still. It's only when her worn shoes feel the coarse dirt of a trail and the pounding of hard rocks against her body that she feels alive. I'm thankful not to be a Tacoma, yet I stand in wonderment of her endurance in the face of the utter abuse and the hardships which she endures. This is the life my Tacoma leads.

    well, it's a fleet truck purchase, its my daily driver (about 75ish a day) AND it occasionally plays on the weekends and gets really dirty.

    So, not quite all / most but three ain't too shabby!
