Victory Red would have laughed at that curb. Then the curb would have moved out of the way.

Buzz, again, don't worry about it and it'll be good as new very quickly. Glad it wasn't the body, etc., or anyone getting hurt!!!

The only time that the wife drives the 'Vette is when I've been way over served and trust her to drive us home...that ain't happened yet.

Curb rash. Hate to see that.

My wife curbed 3 of her Crossfire's rims last summer. I fixed them and about a month later she did the 4th one (the virgin). I told her, " At least you evened them up!"
