ME too . I have never had an attendant make note of 'the scratch on the
trunk' or 'the scrape on the rear passenger tire', etc. Well worth a few
minutes. I always pull into the light and check the entire surface - just to
make sure that I'm not spending money for "damage", before I even leave the
garage.

We always click off some shots with a digital camera before driving
off. The permanent record could be valuable.
