You're not missing a thing. I had a new car and I worried about scratches and dents and dings, etc. I drove that thing for 10 years almost to the day! I drove my last used car for 7 years, and I have this one for about 3 years. I keep them until they are completely dead, and then have them towed away to be donated to one charity or another.

Judy, I hate spending money on car repairs.. When I lived in Bklyn, I had one car and when I could walk I did. Now I have three cars, with kids and I am always having one car in for repair its crazy. I took my sons car in today for brakes.. go figure... As far as your licence plate being hit and mislocated, I remember back in the day coming outside and my car was missing yep stolen right from my front door, and for awhile back they were breaking windshields, hearing this you think we lived in a rough neigborhood but it wasn't.. I don't miss that..

I remember those windshield breaking schemes. They were often done by repair companies to drum up business. Or...kids.
