Saw my old RX-8 yesterday
 

... and I wish I hadn't. It had a huge dent in the front bumper. This is the cherry, low-mileage car I traded in 2 months ago after almost 10 years of ownership. I'd like to think the new owner appreciates it and takes good care of it, but it doesn't appear that way. Kind of sickening actually.

I had a similar experience when I traded in my beloved first motor bike; a Honda 50, on a new Honda 160. Like the 8, that little 50 was in cherry condition. I saw it about 2 weeks later, passing by our store on main street. The little twerp riding it had literally sawed off the rear fender (metal) and half of the front fender. The tail light and license plate were taped onto the frame. Really ugly.

I fail to understand why some folks abuse good equipment. Perhaps daddy bought it for them... :rant:
