Planning to own it 15 years is too optimistic. Most cars start break down piece by piece around 12 years. That is my experience anyway.

I'm afraid the front chin of the car will get scraped more often than not.

So my question is whether a BRZ/FRS can get easily scraped when driving over bumps in the road or flat roads that almost instantly turn into hills.

any input will be greatly appreciated.
