Dents and scratches are not part of "using a car"
I see you have never driven behind a pickup truck on a gravel road.
If you're close enough to another vehicle on a gravel road that you're getting stones flicked up, there's no way that's a safe following distance, especially considering the increased stopping distances.
I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
