Put her on a lift and check it out, maybe just scraps.
Check all you anchors and mounts.
Maybe you just made your car more aerodynamic !

It seems to affect the use of punctuation.

The punctuation must have shaken loose.

Your Minima probably has issues, especially with that log for a rear setup you have. You've possibly blown a strut or two.

Any noises?

After you did it was anything else running odd? Noises that were not there before or a dragging sound ( if something came loose) etc. ?
In my first car I ground out maybe 5 or 6 times and nothing wrong any of them. And trust he i bottomed out real hard where I saw sparks shooting out the side of my car. No damage was ever done though. So you might be lucky but check anyway.

Well, I ran over a wheel chock a MUNI bus left on the road in San Francisco with the left side of my car. I think momentarily I was on two wheels! That block was about 5" high!

I crashed down to the ground HARD enough to lock the seat belts to keep me in my seat and not plastered against the ceiling. Afterwards, the only damage the car sustained was a dented rim. Suspension pulled through fine.
