If I'm going to drive a vehicle, there's no way to avoid life's little irritations. For anyone putting in serious effort to keep their nice shiny car damage-free while using it as intended, I just don't think it's worth the stress. It's just not possible to protect my baby from all the evil forces in the world, that's a losing battle I don't want to fight. So I have fully conceded that the Corvette will get its share of road stones and other surface damage. And the pickup, well... I've had it for 12 years, I use it like a pickup should be used so it's already got little blemishes all over it, all cosmetic, but mechanically it is perfect.
Point being, neither one is a collector, but I keep them up the best I can and I don't have any fantastic delusion that they won't show more wear & tear as they age.
