well... my car will be receiving a new front bumper this week... being my car is so low.. when i had it in for inspection and oil change at lexus, when they were backing it off the lift my lexon front lip caught the lift and pulled the bumper causing one of the tabs that holds the bumper cover on to break. so they are going to be replacing my whole front bumper cover and paying for me to have it re-clearbra'd so i'm currently driving around in a white es350

1 week and 300 miles into "trying" to enjoy the new car, I not only get a flat tire from some metal shred on the highway, it chews off some paint off the rear quarter panel. I also am lucky enough to enjoy a es350 while the tire gets replaced and paint gets fixed

Dude it is somthing about NY. Same **** happened to me the first day I got my car only it was this old rusted *** screw driver with no handle that punctured my side wall and decided to lose a few pounds by running with the car every time chipping paint around my quarter panel wheel well.

Oh man I just took my car out to White Stone in NY. Glad nothing happened to me but I've had other previous incidents in the city with the taxi with my parent's car.

its not that bad and airbags are made NOT to come out on a small hit like that. if you hit a deer and the bags come out then you slam a tree your going to get hurt. I see soooo many cars come in my shop torn to little bits and no air bags. If you dont hit some hard on the frame rails or subframe they will not come out

There have been some freaky cases where airbags have deployed when hit less then what my original comment was referring to. It was a legitimate question to ask
