That would've given me a heart attack! I wonder how many times they have done that? I have seen some people really mess up their vehicles with improper jacking techniques.

My frunk floor got damaged like that when the village idiot road workers left a gap in the pavement across the road. In the dark.

In my opinion, I believe someone hit something like road debris or a high approach angle. I see lots of boxsters with slight damage on the front area of the frunk. The bumper cover in that area also gets torn up. That's one reason I don't tailgate. You'll also find damage on the sides from hitting curbs while turning.

+1.

Looks to me like someone drove up on top of a parking curb...
