i speak from experience. the answer is NO unfortunately. been lucky thus far not getting keyed. ive been keyed so many faking times its kinda funny.

Looks to me like around $50 a ding is fairly standard, so I'm looking at ~$125 for the trunk and if I get the 3 worst ones in the hood fixed another $175 so maybe not such a big deal.

Really just don't have time to deal with it right now so I guess for the moment I'm driving a car with hail damage.

hydroplaning is probably okay.. not sure about snow. it can handle a dusting but snow will require snow tires on a RWD..

I run the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 on the Juke. We are on the second set. I replaced the first set with more than 40,000 miles on them and they still had 4/32" left.

That sucks but in a way, it makes me feel better I'm not the only one who can't drive a car every day and keep it looking tip-top.

Thanks kenchan.

I'm crining having the daily the Z. Never would have thought an acorn could cause a dent. Sorry to hear about your car Davey. Don't park next to Kernchan. Sounds like he takes all the damage.

A ricor bandaid?

Leingod · 10-03-2016, 07:58 PM

May buy these. Should technically fit on the front for me to drive up on and (hopefully) give me enough room to slide my normal jack under to raise the whole front at once.
