I haven't had anything really serious happen to my lancer yet, but scratches and dings GALORE! I'd say at least 7-8 with the largest being 3-5 inches. It sucks man, it really sucks. Mostly because your car has that "tainted" feel, even if its fixed. So what did I do? I'm just gonna deal with it. My last car was totaled in 3 months because some idiot lost control and t-boned me in my lane (truly nothing I could do to avoid). The car before that had its windows smashed by vandals, had a couple run-ins by idiots and burned alternators like oil (gotta love early 90s dodge).

I say stick it out if your luck is like mine, because its not likely to change. If this has only happened with this Evo, trade it for another, if for nothing else than peace of mind.
