There is some thing that makes that happen, I'm convinced it is some ego-leveling device.
I got a big scrape on my brand new car's painted bumper the first week.
I've had the car now 15 years and that's still the only noticeable damage other than door dings and tiny scratches - I never fixed it, for the same reasons as Lexi.
Meh, it gave it character and was definitely a good lesson in Rule 62.
