I almost completely agree...I'm on about the same wash schedule you are. It's a rugged, utility vehicle...and that's how mine always looks.

That said...mechanically speaking it gets my full attention. Oil changes and tire rotations are done with religious precision, as is all other routine maintenance. It might not be shiny, but it runs well...

We differ on dings and dents though...I have two categories for body damage: 'street damage' and 'trail damage'. Someone backs into you in the Home Depot parking lot...street damage. You slide down a pile of rocks and smack into a tree...trail damage. I'd have street damage repaired in a heart beat, but trail damage is like battle scars...unless it impacts the trucks ability, it's there for life...plus there's always a 'story' behind trail damage.
