When my wife had a MB CLK, she seemed to use the wheels as curb feelers!

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, I got too close to a curb and rashed up the wheel. Not just a little, but I got a good 1/3 of the rim edge. While I know it's not the end of the world, and I can (and likely will) refinish it fairly cheaply, it was still a sick feeling as I heard and felt the crunch of the hit.
Damnit.
OUCH!!!
When my wife had a MB CLK, she seemed to use the wheels as curb feelers!
Some women seem to have problems with spacial visulization.
That works to my advantage because my wife thinks that this |________________| is 10 inches!
Makes me remember my experience and may make you feel better too - about 1.5 years ago (& less than a year from owning my C4S), I was cutting through a large dark open parking lot at night and slammed nose-first into a black post with a large cement base which I didn't see until it was too late. Luckily the base partially submarined under my front lip and didn't damage the radiator, but it tore the bottom of the bumper and pushed in a bit of the tub where the spare tire sits. Was repairable at home so again I was lucky.
The moment I hit, I was sure the front end was really mashed since it was a big impact. Not a feeling I'd like to experience again - nor the feeling of complete stupidity that followed it.
I did that just the other day... It was only a little nick, and on my snow rims... but still, it's a sickening feeling.
I know about this curb, too... It's in a parking lot I'm in almost every day, but a big 'ol pickup truck was in the space right across from it, so, although I had the steering wheel at full lock, I didn't have the clearance and hit the curb.
Yup... it is a sickening feeling... had the new wheels barely on a week... and was a little too aggressive with a corner... ugh... luckily it's not that expensive to replace... but man... I could just feel my stomach sink...

Not the end of the world -- most of the time they can fix it for less than $100 while you wait.
Wait until you are ready to sell it. If you live in the long island queens area I can recommend a guy I used who fixed a bent rim that the dealer swore I would have to replace for >$800.00
They can even fix cracked rims.
