Default To the guy in the C7 that ran over the curb in Palm Desert today!

To the guy in the standard C7 that ran over the curb in Palm Desert today 2/16/16 in front of Bestbuy making a sharp right turn in the parking lot, I glanced over as I was entering the store and noticed your car turned waaaaay to sharply as you made a right hand turn into the main drive lane trying to exit, your back right wheel rode up onto the parking median curb and slamed your vehicle down leaving a big black mark on the curb.


Bravo bro! You really know how to handle that ride


If it's not too much trouble please send pics to the forum here of your rear rocker and rim!!!!

I think the op laughs when he sees a little old lady trip on the sidewalk.

I drove the front tire of my C5 over a curb and borderline high center on the right side rocker under the door. Backed out of it, Whined to myself a bit and got over it. Couldn't see any damage (unless you got under the car, visually slight scrapes) and sold the car 13 years later with no mention of it.

In 50+ years of driving I've never even come close to hitting a curb.

Once again, if you're going to post to call someone an idiot, learn how to spell.

OP is the same guy who started a thread putting down non- Z06 owners. Pathetic.

Life is balanced. I, on the other hand, have hit more curbs then I can remember. A couple of drinks, dark night, and in a hurry to get to some bedroom, seems to be related. Best

It wasn't me!

I did run over my cell phone backing into the garage.......had the door open to see better, phone fell out of my shirt pocket, stopped the car with the left front on top of my phone.

I'm sure it will not be the last time I do something stupid.

I was joking. I've also hit my fair share of curbs over the years, which is why I don't understand why it's such a big deal to the OP.
