Road Rash!
Damn potholes!!! I hit one going at a slow speed today and when I did, the car bottomed out on the asphalt. Nothing wrong with the underside or back end, but the front bumper, drivers side bottom, and a small section of the front frame are scratched. ONE MONTH AND ALREADY HAVE ROAD RASH!!! I feel like suing the county for lack of road maintenance. I'm not worried bout the frame, I'm more worried bout the unsightly road rash on the bottom drivers corner of the front bumper. It isn't rough at all, it is kinda smooth, just wondering if maybe some touch up paint and some work will make it look good again?

I know in Michigan you can actually file a claim with the road commission and get reimbursed for repairs from potholes, you'll have to dig around to find thin info if it's available in other states as well.

Eh, not really worried bout it, can barely see it, I'm just gonna get some touch up paint, but i'm still pissed, cause these cars sit pretty high up at stock hight, didn't know a pothole could bottom one out.
