Default The Inevitable Curb

I finally curbed my wheel...

I was pulling into my cousin's lot and there was some one coming out, usually I'd wait till they pull out so I could take the whole of the drive way to get in; there was a cop behind me and on my **** pretty much so I had to pull in best I could, low-n-behold my passenger front clips the edge of the drive way and so does my rear, right when felt and heard the thump my heart sank. Its about 1/2 in chipped and my tire chunked also, not that bad but my first time curbbing any of my wheels, just had to vent.
