I feel really stupid about this, because I feel I'm alot better driver than what I showed. Okay, well as I was leaving this store I had went into, I went to drive out of my parking place, and to my surprise there was a parking curb there. I had no idea. I was just going from a complete stop and just kind of popped over the parking curb. Now, I don't know much about cars so I can't just look underneath the car and notice something adnormal. Nothing is hanging, but I don't know if there's anything else I could have done. If anyone can give me some suggestions I would be more than thankful.

Don't worry bout it fam you should be good. It happens to everybody. If you don't notice any weird sounds or difference in the performance of your car than u should be str8 like 6 oclock

Most likely you are fine. Like he said, it happens to everybody. The only thing you should worry about is if you have lots of rust on the bottom of your car. Because pair rust with a nasty hit to the bottom of your car, and I've screwed up my CV joint (suspension related) And scraped my gas tank = small leak. But don't worry, Everyone bottoms out their cars or stupid stuff like that every once in awhile. Just keep an eye on it, and if anything develops take it to a mechanic.

Shoot Igovert500 sounds like you need to quit hill jumping if you got that many problems! LOL

But yeah just watch your exhaust, if everything sounds cool just keep driving and don't look back at the people who are laughing.

Well the CV joint was from dropping off a high curb from a parking lot to the road to race an Audi
and the gas tank was just from a really bad driveway at college.

Shit, the other day I went to take a corner but I was going way to fast to make it. I turned the wheel and the car just kept going ffoward. I let off the gas to get traction but it was too late. I slid foward and rolled up on a curb. I backed up and looked underneath my ride and seen that I had blown the bottom of my trans casing off. I instantly went to the garage and rack the car and sent it to the sky. I had to cut up a coffee can and drill some holes on the bell. It only took a minute to install a make shift cover but I was pissed.

Its all good though. The Honda's getting a new trans soon enough.

Right...lol

Well Igovert500 at least you gained a few horsepower to race the Audi! There's no cheaper way to get horsepower than to break your exhaust.

I did that too Gold'n on my old Eclipse (hence "old") except the curb was too high. I bent the hell out of my rim and screwed up something in my suspension/steering. Threw on the spare and kept driving, but the alighnment was so bad it was wearing the tires down in a matter of a couple weeks. Alighnment couldn't have been that bad (slight sarcasm here), I mean the steering wheel was only off by ninety degrees. Needless to say I got rid of that car.

Well I once skipped the curb while looking at a group of broads walking down the street. I skipped a got damn 8 inch curb. But luckily I was str8. But I just ended up looking like a real Square by doing that in front of them chicks.
