hahaha welllllll given that my mom took a lot of pride in being able to help me get a new car (as she paid like 3/4ths of of the total) for my graduation. i told her that it wasnt necessary knowing it wasnt the best time for us moneywise but 2 years after graduating, on her insistance, she implored me to let her buy me a car and so it was something special. lonnnng story short, yes the scrtches made me anxious and nervous but i came come with a grin from ear to ear from having sooo much fun....showed mom the damage and she nearly cried and had a heart attack.and each time she sees it "kills her" :-(

Mom's worry, it there thing. I've rolled a time or two you could say and my mom still flips out each time. You think they'd get used to it but they don't. On the plus side, this is a great group of jeepers who get you out quickly when you do and know and the tricks and knick knacks to fix and get 'er runnin' again
Plus scratches are the marks of experience, sometimes stupid experience, but experience none the less
