yours is covered with rock chips because on the 2000MY cars

they did a bad job of using enough "flex" in the paint. so therefor they were much more susceptible to rock chips. My black 03 hardly has any after 75k miles. My 00 had tons at 30k

Yeah, it sucks. I want to redo it asap, especially the bumper :P

I'll have to wait until I get a new job though.

Wrong. I drive a lot in Europe and get those "stone chips" as well.

I guess road debris is common to all the roads on this planet???

I bitched to the dealer about my 2000, and they resprayed it under warranty

then, no rock chips once the paint was applied correctly

I'm knocking on wood. My '00 only has one noticeable chip, 80k. There are some minor

ones, but one has to look hard to find them. I wax and clay the hell out of it.

Nice...many years ago in Car & Driver...

Someone in a letter to the editor remarked on the numerous ads for car bras. Saying he was are of a a$$ and leg man he asked where he could get a garter belt and stockings for his Audi 5000 (I kid you not) and the editor replied:

Maybe you can find out where Liz Taylor shops.
