Hit the d#@$ curb at work
So today I pulled into the same parking space that I do every other day at work not even thinking about the curb. Its never rubbed before so why should I. Then I hear a scrapping noise and feel a little bump. I stop to think for a second, then turn down the radio, and then back up. Sure enough I hear it again. Get out to look and find a small line of red paint on the curb, and a line of white on my front air dam. I think there was one high spot and I found it.
Do dealers fix this under warranty or is it just easier to buy some touch up paint?

RE: Hit the d#@$ curb at work
I was in Phoenix last week watched a dude pull up in his Viper, and literally destroy the front air dam. It sits a little lower than our cars. It was, well............ destroyed. He had to rip it off, as it was dragging the ground after he backed up, not a nice site.
He didn't even go into the restaurant, just threw the mess into the shrubs, and left.
SH** happens.
