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.
