Omg, that sound grates at my soul!
My wife and I took our rig to Drummond Island one week after I had my half doors painted. I made it the entire weekend without tearing them up until the last day on an easy trail, a tree rolled up from under the tire and decided to add some pinstripe to the new paint job! That sound is forever burned into my memory.
The thing is, stuff like that stays with you, but doesn't seem bad later on. Every ding put on our rig was put on there having fun, and together.
