That thought had not even struck me.
Its true to a degree, im held responsible for maintaining and taking care of this car, along with the other cars that we own.
Even though i barely drive them.
Now that its only my mother who drives that vehicle, and you can expect some sort of motorcycle ( always a cd 70, with a irresponsible kid on it. Always ) caused damage or a new dent about once a year.
So personally, i was thinking about leaving the foot board as is( you can barely see the thing anyway ), replacing the light and dry denting it all( or maybe just the rear dent, thats the only one you can see w/o really trying to ), then saying " all izz well" ( should cost....4-6k?)
Honestly, your comment has brought this to my attention. everybody in my immediate family other then my father require me to keep track and tell them when and how to maintain their cars( when the dealer maintenance period runs out ) .But this car was the one which everyone learned on, so its kind of to be expected.
But still, to be perfectly fair the almost all of damage is caused by external sources. Other then the side that is, the bumper is ment to get beat up. Thats why its called a bumper.
