I take decent care of my Blazer. Especially when it was under warrenty. I made sure it got its checkups every 2500-3000 miles. I paid it off over a year early. Made sure the front end was rebuilt before the warrenty expired. I came out of Toys R Us one day to find a gash in the paint on the driver's side. I know when where and who. It was a pissy lady with 5 kids who was blocking 3 parking spots. I had the nerve to ask her (nicely) to move the shopping cart so we could pull in. I know it was her.

I hate it when crap happens to my car, crap that is out of my control.

My car is paid for and I no longer care how it looks. That is until that seagull bombed my windshield last Friday. I got my car washed and then it rained. I'm not sure why I bothered.

Wait a second....I fail to see how those two points are related? Why do you not care how it looks just because you own it?

Good question. I've had so many minor accidents with this car, none my fault, all just cosmetic (though not cheap) damage. I went through all the stuff with the insurance company and the body shop and always had stuff taken care of.

About a year ago, after I'd just gotten the car paid off and passed the 100,000 mile mark, a guy in an SUV backed into the side of my car in the Metro Pointe parking garage (be warned) while I sat in my car watching and trying to figure out where my horn was. Not that honking would have helped. It was like I didn't even exist. He gave me $20 so I could have the damage to the paint buffed out at the car wash. I took his name and number but didn't follow up because it was just too much trouble.

Maybe it has more to do with the 120,000 miles I've put on the car. At this point it's transportation and I don't care what it looks like.
