What are the odds of this happening? Parked my car and went to check out the area. When I returned this is what I found! Mine is on the right.

Did you know you were going to clear this curb or was it just dumb luck?

I find the front cameras on my 2016 invaluable for avoiding just that! I never park with them on to insure I don't bottom out my front end. I did that on my Camaro and it ripped the bumper forward ending up costing me about $3K. Won't do that again. I love the camera in my vette, both forward and rear.

Was she cute? (No, I didn't really type that.)

By the way my commute is between Lansing and Flint on I-69, and it is common to see small convoys of pre-production or early production new vehicles (usually four at a time) being road tested, and I saw groups of C7s when they were being developed. Pre-production vehicles often are disguised by fabric cladding, but the early production cars are undisguised, and it's fun to see multiples of a car that is rare on the road as yet.

You should invest in Curb Alert!
You certainly park close to damage your air dam!
Other wise, nice ride you got.....

Agree; that curb would have wiped it out. Always need to use the front camera to avoid this from happening.

Driving I-94 daily near the Dearborn (Ford Headquarters) exit I see lots of pre-production GT350's and GT500 Muskrats often in a row together. Best one I saw recently was (last summer) was a Ford GT in race trim followed by several race version Mustangs with a lead and follow Ford trucks on the way to downtown Detroit during the Belle Isle Grand Prix week.

Don't feel bad. I have done the same thing even with my camera on. I do have a poverty splitter and when it gets pretty chewed up, I'll just replace it with a new one.
