Boy, am I glad I didn't buy new

The moment it comes off the production line, it will never be the same again.

However like others, I was taught to take care of my stuff, and to show respect to others belongings. I do realize though that not everyone has the same values, so as a result I have the door protector strips on the apex curve of the doors, running boards (Soon to be replaced with some sliders that I'm currently designing/building), and last but not least a 1/4 / 1/2in aluminum plate bumper. In the fall I had a taxi back into my factory bumper, thankfully he had the decency to wait and exchange information. So I needed a new bumper any who, so why not put a plate bumper on....coated in line-x too! hehehe

Can't stop all the damage from ever occurring, but you can't definitely slow the rate at which it occurs
