Bummer! We have a drive-thru here down the street from me that has hard to see spot where I am always afraid I am going to hit the wheels, never thought of something like that happening!

I did this once with my cavalier, forgot I parked beside a curb and turned too much as I was pulling out. Mine was just a single dent though as I stopped when I felt it hit, perhaps you could try that next time.
I hope its an easy repair with a new skirt, or this could be a good excuse to get the running boards.

I ran into (& drove over) the corner of a (hidden) curb at my ATM drive through. Lucky to only scratch the edge of my front rim. I am so freaked out about someone (or me) smashing this vehicle. It's so clean right now that I just don't want somebody hitting it. I never gave a 2nd thought to where I might drive or park my old pick-up. Those were the carefree days.
