Yeah, is anyone with lawyer skills EVER retired?

As to being a kid, remember I said I thought I was the oldest on here. So, that equates to 59 in April. This car is my early retirement gift. Wife said I could go ahead and get me one, it would be my retirement gift, it's just that I would have to work one extra year to pay it off at $2,500 per month (but I get the money now). So, somewhat in the same boat.

Yeah, no matter what precautions you take - clearbra, waxing, etc. As long as you drive the vehicle something WILL happen. It just depends on how big or small. Again, in your case blink, I think you have nothing to worry about. The damage you cited is less than 99.9% of the members of this board have, lol.

Rock chips, dings, scratches... hate 'em all and I'll spare no trouble to avoid and/or repair them. You're not alone.
