Seriously, do you really do this or know anyone who does?

I sure don't, but I'm about to complete year five with my NB Silver. It
isn't 1/4", but it's a little heavier then most I think. Of course it looks
awful because I burnt the powder coat off very early on. I expect to
get at least another year out of my NBS. It has a roof over it, but is not
otherwise protected from the Florida elements.
