Mine has more than enough. I see how obsessed some of these guys are with detailing and can only imagine the Id get if they saw my car in person. I think the rock chips on my front bumper alone would send Ken into cardiac arrest.

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.

This is how I feel sometimes when I am motoring one of my Z's.
