Right - it's like the line in the movie "The World According to Garp".
Garp and the realtor are looking at the home when a plane crashes in to
the roof. Garp exclaims: "We'll take it!". Response - "But a plane just
crashed into the house" to which Garp replies: "It's been
"pre-disastered", what are the chances of that happening again".
Spending time worrying about scratches on a car is _not_ time well spent.
If you drive the car, it'll get scratched. If you park it in your garage
and you have kids, it'll get scratched. If you drive in Boston, it'll get
squished, flattened, stolen and scratched. Well, maybe not squished,
flattened and stolen, but it'll get scratched.
Face it folks - there really are more important things to worry about than
scratches on your TR6.
