I remember when my mom got her first new car, and suddenly we parked at the end of the lot to avoid other people's doors scratching the paint. I drive an old economy shit box that I beat like a rented mule. I'm indifferent to dings and scratches. It has been raced more than most Porsches. It cost the tenth of the price of one. I put the rest of the money into driving it to interesting places. I took my not-adventure-bike halfway around the world and back with the money I didn't spend on a BMW. I shrugged after every fall, because it's not a BMW. Tools are meant to be used. If you can't use them as you please, you have the wrong tools.
