First hit.
I was coming back from the office after picking up some work for the weekend, and i was following a F-250. It threw up a rather large piece of concrete and luckily missed the bonnet, but left a ding in the driver side mirror.

I know exactly what you mean DChaps, mine stays clean for exactly 1 hour. I think my boot gets especially dirty because of the black top! Don't wash it today, go motor instead, tomorrow it's supposed to rain agian!

what is this rain you speak of? Sounds like some foreign language not spoken here in So Cal.

My issue is parking, as soon as I move Yuko, she's covered in a layer of dust. Paving the area I park should fix that later this year.

Post some pics when you get a chance. Oh yeah, the best part, the ride home I was getting 36 MPG!

Happy motoring!

Bummer dude! I really feel for ya. I know the first ding/scratch/dent are probably inevitable. We'll be taking a roadtrip and whenever we do that we always wind up needing a new windshield because of road debris, etc. That said... if we wanted to keep them pristine they'd sit in the garage alot...

Best regards

I only have 240 miles on my car... my boyfriend things I'm a sissy because I haven't gone on any long trips yet. I don't beat on any of my cars like he does. How many miles does everyone have now?

I'm at 775 miles in two weeks, or about double what I normally drive.

Got my car tinted today, FormulaOne Pinnacle 35% all around. For anyone in South OC I highly recommend Tint Plus in Laguna Hills.

This Wednesday will Nugget will be a Month Old!
She has 1350 miles, wow, seriously, how did that happen? No trips only work and weekend runarounds.
The Jeep has been feeling very lonely out in the driveway these days!

Gas is still over $4.00 per gallon!

Nice pics. I drove an 07 with similar decorating, very snazzy looks (can I use that old word ?)

My car saw it's first rain last night. That water beaded up and flew off of my car so fast, you'd think my mini pulled a gun on it...

Now that I've seen rain, some window treatment and/or better wipers are in SERIOUS need... They suck.
