2 years of ownership and my passenger side xxr rims are curb rashed to hell, a few light scratches on the front bumper, and my license plate holder is bent half to hell because of crappy drivers who end up tapping my front bumper when pulling out.......so I'll say no. (thank god for the license plate holder though taking the damage)

It is a car. Just a car. Someday you will get bored of it and throw it away. Years later you will look back at it with nostalgic memories but the fact remains that it is just a pile of steel and plastic that will wear out.
If wear and tear bother you then park the thing in a padded, climate controlled, dehumidified, non uv lit storage unit and enjoy knowing you have a pristine car. My beat to crap highway warrior and I will wave to it as we drive by on the way to our next adventure.

In 1996, I bought a '91 MR2 turbo, from the original (adult) owner, with 8900 hundred miles on the clock. Right...8900. Never seen snow, hadn't seen rain.

In the 7 years I owned it, it lived in the garage, with a custom plush cover. Anytime I went more that a few miles, the cover went. I covered it anytime we stayed overnight, I covered it if I parked on the street/parking lot for more than an hour or so.

It had every option, including leather. When I got out of the car, I pushed the seat full back, reclined the seat back, and raised the tilt wheel, to minimize abrading the seat bolster.

I installed a boost controller and a fuel cut defeat, but I saved every hose, screw, clamp, etc. that was original. I sold it 7 years and 50K later, and it was still near factory new. Not a scratch, not a stone chip.

I got a lil scratch near my gas cap a few days after pulling mine off the lot just a few weeks back, i was obsessed at first but im over it, I'll get it fixed and it'll be okay. Sometimes it's just bound to happen, especially if you daily drive the car
