Long ago I used to freak out about that stuff... these days... I don't care. I still detail and try to keep my cars clean, but I'm not overly concerned with battle scars from my spirited drives. Adds character and you can tell that I actually drive the sh1t out of my cars.

I agree. At first it drove me nuts since this is the first brand new car I have owned but Im way over it at this point. Id rather DRIVE my car than worry about whats gonna happen to it.

ahhh, yah, at least you guys were having fun doing it.

yah, i'd try that and probably just get the bumper painted when the time comes. my G's got very minor blemishes on the front bumper and may get her bumper painted if i decide to keep her longer.

this is like my 20th or 22'd new car and i still think my car is not a race car so will try to keep her as pretty as possible.

i dont baby the car when im driving, and dont feel like ruining the finish intentionally.

My idea is if it gets to a point where its too many chips ill have the whole bumper repainted. Until Then ill enjoy the spirited runs.

The harder part will be taking bugs off the windshield and bumper that were blitzed at triple digit speeds

found it... 2 little screws near the back of the center console. one on each side. that should give me enough lift to put a drill through the bottom so that i can route power behind the seat.

Yes, easy to do.

So I have Friday off. Gonna spend the whole morning at the range breaking in my new Kahr CM9 and playing with my AR-15.

Then later that night JeffBlue and Toxik are showing up at my apartment all the way from NYC.

Shooting guns and hanging out with buddies sounds like a darn good start to the week!

They're gonna wear flannel pajamas, braid each other's hair, paint each other's toe nails, talk about boys, and maybe have a pillow fight.
