Sorry about the ding but why would a warranty cover self-inflicted damage?

Well this thread is useless without pics. If it's a painted rim, grab some touch up, apply and go about your merry way driving. Nobody will notice it but you. It's bound to happen again. After a week or two it wont hurt so bad.
Been there, done that.

I have two rules I follow with the Corvette. Well maybe a few more than that but the first one is I do not drive the Corvette after having an adult beverage or two ever. Second is the passenger gets out before I park and helps make sure I don't get to close to the curb front or sides. If I don't have a passenger I avoid tight spots or get out and check myself as I park. That said, stuff happens, can't change yesterday can only try to do better tomorrow.
