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.

Doesn't it just break your heart. It'll ruin your entire day/night and for the next couple days thats all you can think about.
