Well, I finally did it. Dinged up my baby. Broad daylight, no adverse weather or road conditions, no high speed, no other vehicles....in other words, completely my fault.
Bottom line is, I slid over a low curb/median broad side to. Right side of the front splitter is pushed up and in. Dings in the passenger side of both front and back rims. Scratches in the plastic on both the splitter and the side of the bathtub. Still very drivable as far as I can tell, but you can see the gaps in the hood alignment, and I'll need to replace one side of the LED strips I installed.
All told, it could have been a hell of a lot worse. I'll just throw it on the trailer this week and get it to SC, and then see if it's something I can work through with my limited knowledge and skills, or if I'm going to need the pros. But I am sick to my stomach, and pretty pissed. And the worst part is, I made the decision on my own, thought I had plenty of room (not so much - Azura skittered across the pavement like a hockey puck on a newly-Zambonied rink and all that space got eaten up like a fat kid at an all-you-can eat ice cream sundae buffet), and immediately found out I didn't. It's like my old man always said - always - it costs to learn. It always costs to learn - time, money, heartache, friends, pain, whatever - there's always a price.
