[QUOTE="87hatchy, post: 12385345, member: 80243"] It depends on how OCD you are, without even taking into account "what the car will be worth in a few years." To me, its value doesn't matter. I just like to keep my stuff nice, especially when its new. I took my car on a 3 hour trip 2 days after getting it with not even 100 miles on it yet and on the trip I got bird crap on my windshield/hood/roof while going about 70 mph (splattered everywhere), a period of time where it got poured rain on, and an 18 wheeler that decided to drift off onto the shoulder a little bit and spray my car with rocks, leaving two small chips in my bumper. Also keep in mind that I JUST washed and waxed the thing too. Now I know things like this happened, but it REALLY pissed me off since I JUST freaking got the car. I don't care if it has rock chips and some wear when its 5 years old, but not even a week old! FML!!! Needless to say, I won't be going on any more highway trips with it until they come out with a bra for the 2013's (which blows my mind that they haven't yet). Bottom line, its your choice. If you can live with a brand new car getting some damage to it (because it [B]WILL[/B] if you drive 70 miles everyday), then DD it because its an excellent car to DD. I personally won't drive mine daily until it gets a little older and gets some more miles on it. For now I have a marty mcfly-lookin' 89 Toyota pickup that I DD which is nice and reliable and good in the snow! haha EDIT: Just for some clarification, I'm mostly referring to highway driving in my post. I do drive my stang to work every day that its nice out, and really wouldn't mind driving it in the rain, however I am fortunate enough to have multiple vehicles, and because of that I'm going to take full advantage of it and drive my beater ass truck when its rainy/snowy. I am a little OCD about my car but I'm not only-20-miles-a-year-on-my-car OCD if you know what I mean! [/QUOTE]
