My brother bent two of the AE rims, so he bought me 4 of the SEs instead. Lesson learned: Don't let you brothers or sisters drive your cars. Hell, don't let anyone else drive your car.

yeah it really sucks when that happens...but see, its HER car, not mine, well atleast NOT YET, hahaha, yeah but we got a free toyo tire, and we kept the rim, u cant very tell the damages on the rim, so its fine...

Some one got real close to her from the left side, and she got scared and jerked the wheel to the left trying to avoid the car, and hit the curb...

People always think I'm crazy, because I never get closer than about a foot to ANY curb. I've never rubbed my tires or rims, so I'm not gonna change my behavior any time soon!

he he... it's not as bad as my friend who got a crappy 1996 Neon 5-speed. She told me that during a rainstorm, she had to downshift and couldn't turn the steering wheel enough.. then bam! right into the curb. Her whole axle was messed up; her car had $6,000 in damages. So, I had to give her a ride to school in my luxurious Maxima. damn.. i should've charged her..lol j/k

the curb puctured the tire. it's a very common thing. i see it all the time at work. it's actually quite funny we put four new tires on this one ladies car and she hit a curb that is right in front of our store ten seconds after we finished itand blew out her tire. the car pulled back in and all of us were askin why it came back in already. it was pretty funny. i think that is a record or somethin oh well

People don't know how to Navigate turns. I see at least a dozen people hit or drive over curbs every day.

Yesterday I was out picking up a CD with a friend (she drives a VW Cabrio, yuck) and there was a guy in a parking lot who was stuck on top of a median. You know, the kind made by two curbs with a small strip of dirt with plants in the middle, often used to dress up and make impossible to navigate large parking lots? He got one front wheel over on the other side and his other front wheel on the front side, in the parking space. I laughed at him as we drove past.
