Outside wear & tear

My Skyline has spent most of it's life in the lap of luxury, jetting about on hardwoods, low pile carpet, and other indoor smooth surfaces.

I have taken it outdoors, but ran it on one of those super smooth polished concrete surfaces when I did.

This weekend I took it across the street to the empty parking lot there for some fun and to try the Stage 2 motors out. The lot is pretty smooth for concrete, but not polished. The section divisions have some roughness to them and there is some light gravel and sand. Pretty good area I thought for some fun.

So, I spent a set of batteries hauling booty around the lot, and picked the car up to change the batteries and was shocked at how badly it had gotten abused during the ride.

My rear shock depressions both were scraped down and the hump back there was also quite scratched. The front of the car's bumper was also totally scratched up. I was running medium shocks all around and the stock wheels/tires at this time with no body kit.

Are your cars this beat to hell after 30 or 45 minutes of playing outside?
