Unhappy My 2014 FR-S finally has a door ding, and now I feel...relieved?

I've owned my FR-S since late 2013, and all this time the outer body has never been dinged or dented, until now.

The tire rotation schedule in the official owner's manual cannot be correct

Let's say you follow the manual and rotate your tires every 7,500 miles, starting from a brand new car.

This means that at the 7,500 mileage mark, there is enough of a deviation in wear.

I bought my FR-S in Sept 2013.
