So I just got my car on Friday and already scratched the Rim. I was being so careful too! But I live in a very hard place to drive a car like this, the hills of Los Angeles! So many steep hills and potholes and high high curbs. And on top of that they are doing construciton next door and pulling out is a ***** with all of their cars blocking me. So anyways I was pulling into my steep car port which I mastered for this car (no bottoming out yet... hopefully) but because of the truck on my street it forced me to pull in at a strange angle and I didnt feel it or hear a noise but when I washed my car a few hours later I saw the dreaded scratch on the rim! SO i guess i scratched it on the corner wall to my garage, but its strange cuz none of my car got scratched. Anyways none of you probably care, just wanted to share because this car means so much to all of us and I hope it doesnt happen to you! It hurts your pride! But I am going to get it fixed tomorrow when I get my windows tinted and my gfx kit painted the same color as the rest of my car. Take a look at my baby wheel before the incident in the mean time. All the best

 

Sorry to hear that. I've had hit my fair share of curbs.

 

sorry to hear that man, it happens

 

As much as that sucks at least you didn't scuff the body/paint (looking @ it as a price to repair issue). I absolutely dread scratches/scuffs & dings (sheet metal dings are the most dreaded for me).

To be honest that is one of the main reasons I rarely drive my favorite Camaro of mine the 2000. Sure, I put about 31k of it's total 32.4k original miles on it in the first 7 years since it was new. The last 36 months I have only drove about 1400 miles in it.

I do plenty of driving every week in my company vehicle. I do around 65k a year & a new one every 150k. By the time the weekend comes around I don't really feel like being behind the steering wheel.

That & I like to keep them clean as long as possible between wash & wax!!

 

Oh man im sure that hurts to see your new baby get a ding.

 

That sucks. I keep trying not to do the same thing. I still pray when I come out of Wal-Mart that somebody hasn't dinged me. I have had my Camaro 2SS for 5 months now and have 2600 miles on it. Still ding/scratch free.
