Todd, was not meant as a slam to you. My car is older than yours and in retrospect it may have prevented some of my rash. It was more of a statement that these cars are meant to be fun and driven to experience that. As "dacobb" said the first scratch will make you sick, but if you put $ 8 grand in a paint job, as Karl in AZ saidbe ready to sacrifice it sometime somewhere down the road. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. Some time somewhere. I've done over 10,000 miles this summer alone. My first rub and scratch was long ago, but my next trip is still in front of me.
Polish and protect them, but mostly; DRIVE THEM!
