I have plenty too, front bumper especially, and so does pretty much all the rest of the forum members who have their 8 as their daily driver. You're not alone.

My 8 is a daily driver also. My car was parked at the entrance to my basement when a hickory nut fell from the damn tree and smacked my hood. It put a nice marble sized dent on my hood. One week ago today as I was driving home from work a small propane bottle fell from a camper going the other way . It slid across the center lane and knocked the **** outa my door and rocker panel. Now I have 2 more nice dents to go with the damn rock chips from passing trucks that are going to a construction site a mile from my house. They fly up hwy 321 . I cringe every time I see one coming. It really pisses me off that I am really careful with my cars finish and and it gets damaged by crap like this. I feel your pain in colorado.

Wellllll it could be worse, you couls live in Texas. Imagine the long straight 4 lanes per direction freeways clogged with traffic. Parking next to every 70 MPH speed limit sign...

Oh sure there are weekends where the traffic lightens up. Great, long wide hot straight flat roads. or you could go out for a country ride on long, narrow hot straight flat roads.

Mountains tend to have a lot of gravel on the roads.
