New Z owner! + front bumper curbed pretty good tonight..

[Stearnsy]

Hey everyone! Bought a 2011 gun metallic 6MT sport pkg coupe about 2 weeks ago. Awesome car, came from a couple of 1.8t Audis..was in the market for something along the lines of the e92 m, but found that for $40k less, I could have excellent braking performance, massive lateral g, and essentially, a racecar for low dollars. Totally in love with the car.

Sadly, tonight I ran over a parking curb not thinking twice about it. All of my previous cars have made it over these bastards and let me know they were there by nuzzling the front tires. Instead, I had a nice "CRUNCH!!!," to get out and find a nice dent in the front spoiler and right "fang" area of the front bumper. I'm thinking the whole front air dam will need replacement. If it's inside of a grand I'll probably pay cash, if not, it'll be an insurance claim. I'm going to have pics up within the next few hours as I won't be able to sleep..anyone have experience with a rook move like this? Hurts my heart...poor car.




edit: windshield washer fluid tells me it's low too!
