Those first scratches and/or dings are quite painful.
A few weeks ago, on my way home from work, I was zipping down a dark interstate about 75 m.p.h and I noticed the car in front of me kinda bounce up in the air a bit..the next thing I see is something big coming right at my windshield. It was a very long length of 18 wheeler tire tread and it literally slammed into the nose of my 9-5 and sorta wrapped around it. It hit so hard, the car shook and I just knew there would be big damage to headlight, grill, something. Before I could pull over, the tire tread sort of flopped off the car and I went on home to inspect my damage.
A few scratches on the bumper and edge of the hood was the extent of it. So, if you were wondering, the Saab 9-5 can take a truck tire tread to the face at 70 mph and come away fairly unscathed.
