I got a dent on the back of my bumper. Was a hit and run. I was thinking it must of been someone that backed up into my car while I was at work or decided to think that they could make past my car while pulling out of their parking stall. Also on that day I was so mad after work I accidentally ran over a curb.

Okay, I'll share too. 2 weeks ago, happened at my workplace. Didn't see it until I got home. I was reversed in, looks like someone backed into it, judging by the size of the dent. No note left, of course. $1067 to repair (bumper, parking sensor & headlight washer). The headlight isn't damaged, but has a very faint scuff mark on it. Karma is a *****, I tell ya, which I totally believe in.

Front Bumper Spoiler Damage From Parking Or Other -Some lady at Best Buy drove her truck into my front bumper...and tried to run. Luckily, another woman saw and stopped her, along with getting all her insurance information for me =)

Rock Paint Chip Damage
Rim Curb Rash / Bent Rim
Body Dings / Dents - Uncle backed up into my door with his hummer...totally unfair. That hummer is made of STEEEL!!

(I know, its dirty..I was going to wash it that day..until that happened..)

Interior Damage - Sister's backpack and such keeps scraping against the the inside of the door as well as the dash, and boyfriend got food into the leather passenger seats...you know, those little pores?

Summer '06 -- While pulling my backpack from the passenger seat to the driver seat, a buckle scraped the wood veneer. Thankfully, ScratchX fixed it.

Spring '06 -- Behind a truck that was carrying debris, a rock flew out and hit my roof. Palpable chip, but since it's on the roof, no one ever sees it.

Man, I don't feel so bad about my car anymore!!! That's rough.

I dont think I can answer your question.....I have a IS350 not a 250
