It's a war wound. Be proud! This is the car guy equivalent of "chicks dig scars."

Of course, I was the only one at our last Mid-Atlantic run without a clean car so you might not want to listen to me.

Dude, it's happened to me more than a few times on my custom exhaust system ... well it's bound to happen sooner or later on a driveway or monster speedbump cuz the car sits so low anyway. Just don't worry too much about it and drive safely! (Since mine is still in the bodyshop)

well, the thing is, the elevation of my house is 10' higher than the street. the garage is at the back of the house the drive way slopes down at the side of the house. because of the angle where the driveway meets the street, i can only leave by backing out instead of foward out since that will damage my front. what sucks about this arrangement is that i cannot install a front lip or lower the car whatsoever since i only have 1/4"~1/2" clearance....

tagheuer, interesting user name. Do you have an association with the timing people?

Is there some reason why you couldn't build up the driveway where it meets the street to lessen that change?
