Mine's almost at the one year mark. One door ding, one replaced tail light (cracked), 24,000mi.

And still... bone stock.

8500 miles in a year! That's some good mileage.

Not to wish any bad luck on you or nuttin...but you know now that you said that you will probably get 15 door dings in the next week. When your driving don't ever say, " Wow, there ain't much traffic." When a pitcher is doing well don't ever say, " Wow, I think he's pitching a no hitter." And when you car don't have any dings don't say, " My Max turns one year old today...no door dings." You just asking for trouble

3 years in october and 72k + miles and no door dings!

(did have to get a new front windshield from flying rock, rear ended twice and fixed, and had the front driver door fixed from a hit and run while parked).

but no dings!

Lucky... I have quite a few stone chips, 4 of them further back on the hood where the clear bra doesn't go (9 or 10 are under where the clear bra is now) and for the first time today, I have door dings. ACK!

I've got a ding (I can see some white scratches) and they took out a couple chunks of paint on my trim. Stupid idiots!

I'm at a little over 6k miles. I bought the car on 11/30/01.

YES! Very much!

I made it 1yr. 8mo. before some DUMB chick in her POS Saturn dinked my door guard. I friggen knew I should have moved my car, but it was the 3rd parking spot I'd pulled into already.

Oh well, hopefully I don't recongize her POS at any future race events.

Now, if I can only keep all the DAMN tire carcasses from hitting my car out on the hwy. 3 times in 2-months and 2 were this weekend, WTF!?!?
