Dare I admit that I'm so anxious to get my car I might be inclined to live with a small scratch or chip and consider it as a well deserved battle wound from testing out the ECU's speed governor while on the Autobahn?
I don't think they care about minor rock chips... but who knows. That means they'd have to repaint most of the cars they get that were actually driven (i.e. not the people who picked it up and drove it directly to the dropoff).

But anyway, I clear bra'd my car in the hotel parking lot so I don't have that issue.
