I was pretty sick this week, but I still wanted to go out to dinner with my wife. I drove the Z and parked in the very back of the lot next to the curb. When I was leaving, I pulled out and forgot about the curb. Scraped the underside pretty good and then went up over the back tire. No problem with the tire, but I did take a chunk of the underside out. The whole thing is about 2 feet long. Any idea what this will take to fix and about how much I might be looking at? Great week. This on top of a $3000 Fed tax bill! Damn it!
Thanks for the help.

Oh man. I've done things like that. We learn our lessons the hard way. Sorry broh, no biggie. Fix it, drive it and forget it.
Don't kick yourself too much (a little is OK), we all do stupid things once in a while. Just imagine if you had lowered it to the max

thanks.
it looks to be just a scrape on the outer rocker...no big deal...
Believe me when I tell you I have done much worse. I guess all of us here put a lot of ourselves into these cars. Try not to be too hard on yourself, and just remember ...It can always be worse...you..your wife... Your both O.K....Cars can be fixed....Harder to fix people...
