unfortunatly, using cars, whether racing or on the road is going to lead, sooner or later, to the death of the vehicle... just look at how many datto's are still on the road out of the hundreds produced, and of those stil on the road, how many are dent free... down to 1 or 2 if we're lucky??

We could stick one in a glass case.. kinda like the nissan dream garage, but then, no one ever see's it, and no one ever gets to drive it. That wasn't what the car was built for either...

at least this car is keeping its panels in good shape while its sitting in the shed not being driven, and hopefully its not going to be too chopped up to drive again... other than that, all its got to worry about is rust...

i think we're all getting the basic point here though. trying to use our datto's as much as we can, and at the same time, not letting them get hurt.
