So MAD!!

My husband hit a curb with my car last week! He messed up my front wheel on the driver's side and took a chunk out of the wheel.

Ouch!

My wife put two shopping cart dents in mine in the first two weeks. And of course it was all my fault somehow.

The Nerve of him, he should be banned from driving that new SS. Did he at least offer to buy you a brand new wheel, and perhap's some New Gold and Diamond Jewelry for you to ease your pain...LOL

Her car is her jewelery!
I know it's my prettiest accessory and buy my own baubles!

But reminds me why I rarely let people drive my Blackie--for some reason most guys are put off by the touches of pink!

Sorry for the pain there--hope it can be taken care of easily.

Bummer man! Sorry to hear that!

I am so cautious about curbs with this car cause of the low-profile tires and exposed rims... They are so vulnerable. Hope that you can get a fix or replacement fairly reasonable.

i almost put my rim into a curb on saturday. I was parking downtown and pulled up way too close, still getting used to parallel parking the HHR.

So my dad gets out of the car and is like whoa, you are like 1/8" away from the curb, so i adjusted it, too close for comfort though
