It's a 2001 and has never caused me any issues. If it gets dinged up or scratched, I don't really care.

Great job on the mods. I don't know how you can resist leaving these rides at home everyday. I work from home and itch to drive the X even if it's just to hit the drive-thru. I also keep my Rodeo around for NYC trips a couple times a month but undoubtedly I struggle with the choice. Not too bad to go into the city with the X as long as you don't have to park it anywhere for any length of time. Actually I've been thinking of getting one of those bumper buddy mats (don't want the aero getting marked for good)... just for parking.

BTW, I hate people who don't give a crap about other people's property. This past weekend we were at the pediatrician's office (Manhasset) for no more than 30 mins and I come home to see a dab of black paint on my rear door - yes there was a black SUV next to us when I left. I clay-barred it off eventually and there's a very slight indentation (a definite sign of a door) - you can't leave the vehicle alone for a second without something happening to it. Hell even in my Rodeo I've sat at a parking lot waiting for my wife and some lady in a nicer car opens her door right into mine.
