I can relate. A month after getting the m340 I scraped the rim coming out of the garage. That being said lets put things in perspective. We survived a pandemic and are fortunate to afford such nice toys. After all it is just a car and it can be repaired. Considering that, Life is good. You will be ok.

Your auto insurance may offer free(no deductible) chip repair on windshield, do check with them. Local dealer/indy fixes curbed rim for $150-ish, so ask around your locales. |

I curbed my front passenger-side wheel trying to whip a quick U-turn. I wasn't familiar with the surprisingly boat-like turn radius of this thing (LSD is NOT rear-wheel-steering) and just clipped the corner of the curb.
I wouldn't have minded much because of wheel and tire package, except that I had my father in law in the car and was showing it off for the first time. Derp. Mechanical car washes tho… 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Never. Nobody touches my paint. |

A month after I got mine a truck tire exploded in front of me and a slab of rubber flew into my bumper knocking my lip loose and scratching the paint. Makes me angry everyday I have to look at that.

These machines were meant to be enjoyed and driven hard.
First damage is always the most painful — just means she's a driver and ready for more adventure! Repair if/when possible and keep driving! |

Stop driving close to trucks.. they are a magnet for rocks that they proceed to fling all over the place. I hope you had that tire and wheel wirth cosmetic.

Got a call from home a few weeks ago-my FIL telling me our pup unexpectedly died at the vet and the fam was bawling-rushed home and curbed my front right wheel pulling into a spot. All around terrible day

I got a nail in my tire on my way back from the dealership (first day with the car)
A month later on a windy night a small tree fell on my car and caused a few dents/dings scratches on the car Hopefully my misery makes you feel a little better |

At least that can easily be fixed though, and for free if you go to Discount Tire.
