To a limit I can understand say stickers which make your SUV look like you just crossed highest mountains, or run through many fields (Sorry U2, could't resist) or even survived crocodile infested swamps, so you get that adventurer look, but this? What is rust even supposed to signify besides lack of care?

Is this the in thing now or am I just too old to get it?

Yeah - U2 just left this forum after reading your comment...

Cheers!

Like other BHPians, torn denims were the first to come to mind!

There's a market for worn out sneakers too!

Gee - I wonder what these trends will lead to. Maybe someone will start offering a brand new car bashing facility so you lose your worries early on... or even a pre-aged bride/groom service. Just so you know what they'll look like in a few years...
