Default Wife drove the car.....ahhh

Wife drove the car yesterday and road rashed the front lip. Has anyone ever installed a sensor called Curb Alert? Is there something similar that will help alert when you are getting close to the parking curb?

Thanks in advance....

You should have taken time to train her on that. Anyone that is not used to driving low profile cars would most likely do that
I took one weekend to show her how to pull in and out of the steep driveway, make wide turns to avoid curbing and never to use any drive through (bank or fast food) since there is high potential for curbing

Seriously. And to yell like that is ridiculous.

Even at stock height I scraped a couple of normal height curbs under the front bumper just in front of the wheel
But that was a long time ago and now I park... a little differently.

and nothing of value was lost! God I hate those Hondas, in here they're so common and all the douches inside them want to do is race and to top it off they have those cheap, giant exhausts that sound really loud and shitty.

they are called curb feelers, but they've been out of style for decades.

Thanks for the replies....... I think...... Believe me we had a few words.....

I guess no one has ever tried the sensor mounted under the front grill that alerts when you are close to the parking curb......
