Default Okay I bottomed out.

I took a diff way to work this morning(traffic go figure) and I went through an intersection around 45mph. OUCH! I didn't get a chance to look underneath, but what hit? The edges of the bumper or the suspension stops? I forget this car is an inch lower then the A.

Default Yikes, hope it's cool. I think you've exhausted all your bad luck with previous posts....

hopefully from here on out it's all smooth sailing!

Default I'm going to guess that it's the bottom of the front bumper...

I've looked under there, and it's pretty damned hard to hit much else... (especially head on).

Don't worry ... unfortunately.. it won't be the first time it happens. Just follow me when I got diagnoally across something (the entrance to lohmans', my apartment complex etc)... the rain gutters around here F!$#@ suck sweaty donkey nads!

Oh yeah... WATCH OUT FOR THOSE CONCRETE WHEEL STOPS!! They're juuuuust high enough to snag the _back_ end of the bumper.... so you'll hear a "SNAP" when you back out. (Ask me how I know )

The new tires are just high enough to clear them.. heh
