i just prefer mine messed up. i loved my old honda civic because it was dented and scraped on virtually every panel. my wife gets everything fixed right away on her car, and it just seems absurd to me. take the cash, live with the bumper!once you give in to the entropy, you dont have to worry about subsequent damage. i just dont see how it makes any difference whatsoever. plus I actually like the thrashed old car look. my 2012 accord actually looks relatively clean, a bit too clean for my taste, except for a hole in the bumper. maybe i drive better?
word of the day:
Beausage
Beauty by usage.
Beausage sounds French but it’s not; instead it’s a synthetic combination of the words beauty and usage, and describes the beauty that comes with using something.
Beausage is:
* Roman amphitheater steps whose faces are worn away by the tread of thousands and thousands of shoes
* Stone chips on the hood of a Ferrari 250 which has been run hard and put away wet
* A bike seat whose adapted form reflects that of its owner’s posterior
* The look and feel of the cockpit of the old Mercedes pictured above (a jumble of replacement gauges and parts, obviously used a lot) — that’s 91 years of beausage!
