I only have two dings on my 04' but I am so **** that I usually take my wifes car to any stores (she gets so pissed) and I feel your pain on the truck tires. I was following a suburban once and the freakin' ******* didn't swerve or anything because the burb was higher than the tire and I swerved but still ran right over part of it. It fucked up the whole front bumper but luckily I was in our companies MPV and not my RX8 It's such bullshit how rigs drive around with busted tires and never clean up their busted tires.

Got a 04 and to date not a ding on her and not a vissable scratch (knock on wood). I work in retail so I know the f-----g carts can be brutal so I park in the rear of the warehouse.............I don't give a **** how far I have to walk to get inside. I think I'd cry with getting a ding can't even imagine how your feeling. Sorry to hear your mishaps.
