My first car was a Lexus RX330 (thanks mom!), and like any 16 year old, I abused the shit out of it. I would drive over any curb, bush, or tree that got in my way. I once drove off the highway and took out a couple small trees on an off-ramp, and it was fine. In the winter I would slide it into snowbanks, a bridge, or whatever else was in front of me to stop me. They are literally invulnerable to scratches, door dings, and any other daily wear-and-tear. If you took 2 Lexus RX's, and opened the doors of them into eachother, I believe you would create a black hole. It's like the unstoppable force vs immovable object question. The only time it was ever in the shop for repairs was when someone drove into the side of it (it was parked in someones front yard at the time, I wasn't in the area), then that driver slid off a cliff and totalled her car. The lexus only needed the front fender replaced. When I sold it, the steering alignment was off and one of the wheels kept going flat, but otherwise it was in pretty good shape. Had surprisingly good resale value too.
