I'm with you. 63K on mine. It has plenty of bumps and bruises. That's going to happen. You know what bugs me though. I don't like being pestered to bring my car to the various car shows. I appreciate the thought. It is a little out of the ordinary. But the guys with trailer queens take a snobish attitude when the engine bay isn't pristine or there are a couple knicks in the headlight lenses. I've taken to filling out the line about "Special Features" with "Daily Driver".

I will let you in on a secret. This is something the pastor who married my wife and I told us before we got married. I have come to learn that it not only relates to my relationship with my wife, but pretty much anything good in my life.

For me, I hear ya. I just Clay Bar'd my Mustang and today, it's snowing. I have other cars but would prefer to drive the Mustang when there is no snow since my tires will not allow that.
I bought my car with a big scratch on the rear bumper. The previous owner had a dog that shed like falling leaves in the fall. Took a long time to get all the dog hair out. There are holes in the carpet too but it's mine and I love it.

My wife jokes with me all the time that I could never own a Roush Mustang or GT500 simply because I'd go mental. Hell, I own an 08 V6, candy apple red, heavily modded, and already I am way too paranoid with it. The little nicks and dings I do have make me cringe every time I see them.

With respect to my '08 GT . . .
Sure, I've had to rub out a couple of small scratches and touch up a couple others. No big deal, can't see any of it from the driver seat.
You see, I bought the car to drive on a daily basis just like all the other cars I've owned, so I expect it to accumulate a little wear and tear. Maybe I'd feel differently if it was into the car show scene.

Rattles rattles rattles!!!
I've gotten acouple tracked down, but i still need to turn up the bass and find the big ones in the back. I had the leather cover of the shifter making noises on the plastic console, so I wedged it with a few pennies and it's solid now. Did the same thing with the square plastic piece behind the door handle, but used a nickle!
