I just wonder why don't car manufacturers make the door skin similiar to Saturns. That way we will NEVER have door dings, only cosmetic damage that can be relatively easy to repair.

Any similiar thoughts?

Not from me. You want a a car almost entirely of plastic? When is "less door dings" more important than safety? I personally feel more comfortable in a benz, and if you want fiberglass doors, then buy the saturn...just dont get into a serious accident with it. Plus I bet it looks like crap after several years.

Being **** about a car can really take the fun out of it. The E55 is not irreplaceable, I have probably put more scratches on mine just from doing donuts and having fun, that it could ever get being left in a Toys”R”us parking lot at Christmas time.

Getting a door ding or scratched paint because someone else’s ignorance is never fun, but there is always paint less dent repair and re-sprays.

IMO

HA! If only I can get myself to say "its just a car". I am so **** about my car, how many people can go in it, what can go in it, where it goes, how clean it is, etc... I only wish i did not worry about it so much.

I would probably sleep nights better too! :p
