Unhappy Skörpy got a rash

We went out to a restaurant last night and I failed at making a tight turn.
The "tree island" won this round.
It made quite a loud noise when I hit the curb, the bumpstop bottomed out.
The wheel looks okay, no bends or cracks. But the tire is toast.




My 10k service is due on Monday, I plan to replace the tire then.
In the meantime the "great day in the morning" full-size spare will get a workout.

Thanks, Yello_jellybean!
I was only cruisin' about 10mph and took my eye off the curb to find a parking spot.
I'll just smear a little black makeup on his face, he'll be just fine!

Brush-on touchup paint will fix that right up. Definitely get that tire replaced asap though. You're lucky if you didn't bend the rim.

Just an update. Got the tire replaced at the dealer.
They matched a price from TireRack (plus S&H).
Even though, it's a little discount.
Now for the touch-up paint portion of the show.

There was this sexy little number seducing me on the lot.
'09 CC Sport, Black/Black, six-speed manual. Drool....Slobber...Drool.
