It takes practice but after a little while you can get it. I have a lowered Spyder and I scrape every once in a while. I know damaging your car even minorly with a ding is a terrible feeling but when I daily drive my car I expect it to happen. I just decided I'll live with a dent or two and when it comes time to sell, just fix everything. No point in crying about it.
One reason *not* to lower your Maserati...
...after a very anxious moment the other night. I took my son out for pizza after his soccer game (no, pizza not allowed in the car, of course :wink
, and went to park. As I pulled in to a relatively normal sized curb, I heard the painful sound of the front cowling being ground and torn. :shock: I slowwwwwlllly backed away (not easy in a CC, I tell you) and prepared myself for the worst. Visions of UPS packages from Italy danced through my head along with large checks. :roll: As I crouched to look, the sky opened up and sun rained down upon me as I found only a minor scratch in an invisible location. But, lesson learned that I need to be careful. If the Maser had have been lowered, even half an inch, the outcome would have tearful... :idea:
Just thought I'd pass it on to those of you who won't be trailering your Maser to the track and need to actually park it.
