    I made the purchase on 02/18/2010 and here we are pretty much exactly 2 months later and i am filing my first insurance claim only because of the paint chip, ugly dent and sheered off antenna.

    This is crap.

    Talk to a paintless/dentless guy before you have a body shop do the work, those paintless guys do some great work. I had several dings removed from my wife's Camry, neighbor kid nailed it with a yoyo by the back window. You would never know it was dented.

    This... I would think you could get that dent out for less than $100. $10 for some touch-up paint and $50 for a new antennae and you have your truck looking new again for $160...

    Along with thieves, drunk drivers are the scum of the earth. I would never wish death on someone, but paralysis would be a good punishment.
