I admit I'm a guy driver. Scraped the rim alittle against a curve at the airport. My wife was pissed even though it was her I was picking up. I touched it up with a little silver paint. Can't tell I scraped it. I'm redeemed.

 

Been there, done that

 

Sounds like a good reason to put some curb-feelers on :D ?

 

what are curb feelers?

 

Text under the image says "Where are the white walls to go with those curb feelers?"

from this Miata site

 

looks like a kickstand!

 

damn I feel old. Before you know it there are grown-ups that were born in the 80's and now there are people who don't know what curb feelers are! Maybe I need to get my AARP membership, sit down in my La-Z-Boy and listen to some LPs. No wonder I scraped my friggin' rims! I can't see s***! Help!

 

The miata site is hysterical :D

As for the curb fenders... I don't think so!

 

Scratched the H#%$% out of my front air dam this weekend - tried to pull a u-turn over what I thought was a very small curb (less than 3 inches), but misjudged. I was on a first date, so just acted cool and collected, but was really pissed!

 

Tagged both passenger side rims big time this morning. Arghhh. Was still asleep. about 5 inches on front and 3 inches on back. Pissed at myself. Ah well...will get it fixed/replaced soon enough.

 

Lots of threads on this, including one I started just this week, but I just used the Sunlight Silver touch-up paint on my rim a couple of hours ago and made it look much better. That seems to be the recommended fix here on the forum if the scratching is minor.
