Yeah, that fingerprint thing gets me too. I saw a Roman roof tile in London with a dog's paw print baked into it, like the animal just walked across it while it was drying. Suddenly you're not just looking at a thing, you're sharing a moment with someone, or some dog, from a totally different world. What gets me is how ordinary it was for them, just a daily accident, but it's what makes them feel closest to us now.

Is a bumper crack really that big of a deal? I mean, derekhunt, your buddy Jake's car held up, but it's just plastic. My old Civic had a zip-tied bumper for like three years and it was fine. It's not like the car falls apart. Maybe it's just me, but I'd only fix it if it's actually dragging on the ground or something.

My brother hated it until the big twist, then he binged the whole thing in a weekend.

Yeah, it's like my old car. The wrong spark plug gap and it just coughs and dies. Exact fit matters everywhere.

Yeah, had the same doubt until a guy with a black F-150 wanted a full hood respray. Used a ceramic clear on it, and the depth was crazy. It didn't just look wet, it looked like a mirror pool. Water just slides right off now. Changed my whole shelf in the booth after that.
