curb scraper

just like the title says, i've owned my evo for about 4 months and i've scraped 3 curbs already... i've owned 4 previous vehicles and never hit a curb...i guess i just have to get used to the turning radius... ok thats just my 2 cents

Your driving sucks, I been driving since I was 12 and have never scraped a curb. I feel bad for your evo. Have you ever thought about trading it for something slower?

Illegal? I had a learner's permit, I got my license when I was 14. And yes you are ramming curbs, 3 curbs on same car . Look on the bright side though, you can't hit them all .

I would just say that.... in Boston most roads are either too narrow to U-turn or else HUGE If I even get 1 foot away I'll make it a 3 point turn..

And I too also have been driving since I was like 12. God I love being Canadian.. The driving instructors actually said it would have been a good idea for me to learn before I got the license and went through driver's Ed. After my 1st class I got to go to advanced maneuvering etc on the track.. that was cool!
