Not a new car, but I handed the keys to the boxster to Traci on a Tuesday, morning. I washed the car Wednesday night, and noticed that the bumper is all scuffed to heck and back. She swears she did not do it, so someone must have tagged her in the parking garage .

For 10 years, I daily drove a minty E30 that I bought from the original elderly owners that slowly developed "DD patina" over time. Last February I picked up a time capsule black/black E39 5 speed with 42K miles. Mirror finish, not a nick on it, still smells new inside, etc. In my second week of ownership while stopped at a light, I was rear ended by some idiot chick that pushed me into the SUV in front of me. She said she didn't understand why she didn't stop in time because she "she kept pushing the traction control button" as she got closer to me.
What are you gonna do....
