I've had my car for 2 days... and already I'm tearing shit up!! I have this uncle that lives in Lake Hughes Ca. So last night I decided to take a drive through the nice windy roads through hills and country side to pay him a surprise visit. The drive was sweet... the car was hugging the road like nothing I've felt before, cruising through 30mph S-curves at 85mph... felt like I was on rails. So, I get to my uncles place on the lake 25 miles later. He has this dirt road driveway that leads up to his house, but its been kinda damaged from rains. So I start to head up the drive way and start grinding the bottom of my car hard on the bumps[banghead]. Halfway up I said, "F[censored]CK THIS!" and put her in reverse and headed back down the hill... grinding it somemore on the way down[irk]. I just said, "sorry Unc." and went home with out even saying hi (he wasn't expecting me anyway). I got home and took a look under my car.. I totally scraped up the aero diffusers[!]. Now I'mpissed at myself for doing that. I swear.. I can't sem to keep anything nice! Okay, had to share my frustrations.

It happens, man. I've scraped mine on a couple driveways. In fact, I'll need to do some work on my new driveway or I'll be scraping it every day after I move.

I've had my car for almost 2 months and I've already messed up the lower edge of the front bumper. I even have a 1 inch by 1mm piece dangeling (sp?) from it.
I hope no one lays on the ground and looks at my car.
Try backing into a support beam in a parking garage and having the rear bumper cover replaced after having the car for 3 months... now that's something to be pissed about.

The first week I had me 02 Vette I pulled into a parking lot that dropped down from the road. There was a 1 foot high curb that you could not see when you pulled in, only it was real easy to hit. I hit it. I got out of my car and looked at the curb, it was all smacked up from other people hitting it. I told the store owner what happened and he said it gets hit all the time. Said he use to put a sign up to warn people about it but that would get knocked down also. He asked what I was driving and I said a brandnew Corvette. He said "Well at least it wasn't a classic".
I left with my money in my hand, I was planning on spending almost 2K in his store that day.
Here is $1,600 of damage.

It was a gun shop in Woodstock, GA, Parnells Gun Shop. He had a nice Glock 17L that I was wanting to buy and a nice M1 carbine. His loss for being such a jerk about it.
I know your pain. 3rd week of ownership. Wednesday I touched the driver side front wheel on a curb and got a small not too noticeable (I NOTICE!) gash. Then tonight, Friday, I make a right turn and scrape the passenger wheel on the the curb leaving a series of less deep (but through the paint) scrapes about 60% of the way around the rim. For the few minutes it took to find a place to pull over and check I kept hoping it was only a tire rub. But, alas, it was not to be.
I guess once I learn where the hell my rims end I'll get them both repaired.
Ouch... I can't believe the guy told you atleast it wasn't a classic. I would have given him a classic can of whoop ass. Well, atleast I would have dreamt about it. I guess I should be glad I didn't do any visible damage... but my "Redline Woes" thread is just another delima in my world of hell taking over.
