Oh I've seen all kinds of wacky scenarios and odd behavior by people on the street. Including people parked briefly facing the the wrong way on a street because that put them in the direction they ultimately wanted to go and they were too lazy to turn around twice. Or even someone doing a sloppy job of backing out of a driveway, turning, and having their butts too far over into the far side of a narrow street. People get in a hurry, do irrational (aka stupid) things. You know it happens.

My picture wasn't chosen to be “purposely deceptive” or "argumentative." It simply shows how low a curb is relative to a tire generally. Now, the OP didn’t tell us the degree to which he may/may not have lowered his Boxster and, inconveniently, there’s no tape measure included in the pic. You say the low end of the valance should be at 5.5". But in his pic it's level with the bottom of his exhaust tips which, on my car, are at about 7 3/4". Did he lower his car that much? I dunno. In any case, you know generally speaking these cars get safely backed up to park stops and (normal) curbs all the time. Which is why I responded to your post the way I did.

And yes, as mentioned I do still have my Boxster. Going on 18 years now. In that I drive it several times a week, I've certainly not forgotten how low it is.

People have to keep in mind that hitches come in all flavors. They’re not limited to being attached to monster trucks for hauling humongous loads. In fact I just used this one a couple days ago on a cute little rental trailer from UHaul.…



Altitude-wise, looks pretty darn close don’t it?

Now the other explanation you, in your most recent post, mention ("a large rock")...now that, I have to admit, that's one I could probably be talked into buying. Unlike curbs and park stops and light posts, rocks can jut out in all kinds of irregular directions and at variable levels. That definitely could make sense. That would explain the roughness of the paint lesion as well.
