Default Dear Chazmo......

I hope this will make you feel better, (or at least not alone). So today while parking my S in the usual fashion, I neglected to notice how warped the concrete was in the parking spot where I was parking. The concrete dipped right in front of the conrete curb/stopper thingy, and then rose immediatly under the curb thing, making it about 2-3 inches higher than normal. I wasn't paying attention to how much I was rolling, rolled the front of the S over the curb, and of course over it again as a backed away........ it is only paint damage, but it isn't just under the chin, it's on the front as well. It is pretty gnarly looking and I will take it to the shop next week to sort it out. this joins the two nicks I put in the nose with my plyers......

I didn't really bother me that it happened, I guess because it's part of having a low to the ground sports car. I just wasn't paying attention..... it's just a car, right?

I hate to think what rain will do to you if you can crack a windshield just going around a corner

Thanks for commiserating there, wicky. I'll still have trouble forgiving myself for putting my nails into my hood, but these things happen.

Just because I don't look normal doesn't mean you need to be scared
