My BMW 325 gets alot of brake dust. My friend has the M3 and his was even worse. He finally decided to get these covers you can put behind the tires so the brake dust doesn't get out. They worked great except they accelerated the rusting of his brakes.

rofl, what an idiotSome warranties do cover that, but it has to be be explicitly stated though.

WARRANTY...including up to 14 nails in the tire...

Yep. It's more like insurance. They call it "road hazard protection" and it's prorated.

No auto manufacturers' warranty covers tire damage. This is the result of ages-old federal anti-monopoly legislation. Auto manufacturers do not sell tires, technically you pick the tire you want on the car when you buy it (like that ever happens). And they do not warranty tires either, that's why you get a warranty from the tire manufacturer with your new car owners manual.

I completely identify with this story. I'm the manager of the dairy department at a local grocery store. Every single day, without fail, I come across an individual more retarded than the last. I swear people lose all their common sense the second the walk through the front doors. I could sit here and wax lyrical with you all day. Oh, the stories I have.
Tuesday, for example, a woman customer asked me for an item we had on sale. I told her no, and explained that the product had been shorted by the manufacturer due to high demand. I apologized, identified myself as the manager, and told her we were expecting shippment tomorrow. I even offered to hold a few for her. She ranted about how she lives "out of town," which was amusing bullshite because she's in the store several times a week. She mumbled under her breath and stormed off.
Two minutes later I was called to the front by a cashier. It was the same woman asking the cashier to have a stock-boy bring her the item. As soon as she saw me she went beet red. I repeated my explanation and she got even more pissed off. She threatened to never shop at our store again.
I saw her in the store this morning.

Ford loses cases all the time just because juries tend to side with idiot customers. They can be stone cold, outright wrong and we lose just because we're the big business.
Had one customer who bought a duron 700 + MB combo from us... came back the next day saying no post.
The other technician asked him if he had his HSF mounted.
Customer "What heatsink?"
The 17 year old twits mother was not going to listen to any sort of logical explanation, including the fact that "buried inside a manual that nobody reads" a HSF was needed in order not to fry the chip.
In light of good customer service, those above us (store-level technicians) decided to replace the CPU... and the customer bought a HSF which we mounted for him.
*sigh*
We had another guy that put SDR into a DDR only MB... said the salesguy told him it'd work and he only had to push the ram in a bit to get it in. Worst part is, with the board bending just a bit, I actually got regular SD to snap into place very easily, which is even worse :Q
Once again, those above me replace the board with another of the same, however the customer actually ended up buying DDR ram for the board, and I tested it instore to make sure it worked.
*sigh*
Or how about the guy that thinks it's a hardware problem when the "Critical Updates" page in Windows Update won't load, but every single other website on the internet works fine.
