i'm so angry! argh!!!!!
i scratched the bottom part of the bumper!!!
it was on my usual route, too...
and for some reason today, it bottomed out...

so sorry for my car...

shiet!

 

The first one's the worst. Get used to it, it will happen.. a lot.

 

yeah ive scraped twice going out driveways and not turning the wheel enough.. (and people want me to drop it!..ugh)

 

yes it happens quite a bit.

but bottoming out entirely? its actually kinda cool, there are a few roads where I can bottom out very easily - sparks everywhere, and a few contact points on the bottom of the car scrape.

 

I have scraped my front spoiler on several occasions. I thought about adding some scrape pads but haven't gotten around to it. Meanwhile you can't see the scrapes anyway.

 

But YOU know its there, and it bothers you. At least it does for me the first few times.

I call this "first dent syndrome". I've had it with every car I've owned. Progression of the disease is like this:
1. Prior to diagnosable symptom (first dent) the patient develops non-specific anxiety.
2. First dent is accompained by a painful release of anger and frustration.
3. Second dent is greeted with a sense of relief (that it is not the first dent.)

After successful treatment of any dents, the appearance of symptoms will begin at 1. again and progression of the disease is similar but escalated.

 

I've scraped the bottom of the bumper already too, on a parking block. I can't really see it, so it doesn't really bother me too much. I usually scrape those plastic aerodynamic things in front of the wheel instead of the bumper when I go across bumps. Guess the bump you went across must've been pretty bad.
