The hammer seems silly to me, but every car I have owned has been on gravel roads and/or a gravel parking lot within the first month of ownership. Why? Because they're tools for the job of transportation, and with my lifestyle that includes unpaved surfaces. Furthermore, sometimes birds use it as a bathroom and bugs use it as a kamikaze target. It happens. I try not to abuse my tools, but I don't baby them either.Superman wrote:Lightbulb1988, don't listen to most of these guys...I know exactly how you feel. They do too but some are just being too rude to actually answer your question without making you feel like a noob. I guarantee that they all feel the exact same about a new car/truck and not wanting to get any scratches on it even though "it's just a tool...to get me from one location to another...it's constantly exploding inside to make it move". I highly doubt any of them would take a hammer to their new truck so they "won't worry about wear anymore".
If you want a handgun to remain looking as good as new, don't carry it. Make it a safe queen.Superman wrote:It's a good question and I was wondering the same thing, so thanks for asking. Thanks to all who've answered and I look forward to hearing more options (if there are any). Like any other purchase, I simply want to know all my options and the pros / cons of each so I can make an informed decision based on what's important to me (which one importance is minimizing wear and tear if I can help it).
