Close encounters of the sidewalk kind: the pictures speak for itself.

Way too close for comfort for my 1M. Definitely my mistake. Needless to say I choked when I got out of the car and noticed this close call (which passed under the PDC radar). True near miss: not one single scratch and happy for that. Man, just the thought that the tips and exhaust would have been pushed inwards by the sidewalk.

If, alike a cat, a 1M has nine lives, than I guess my 1M has eight since this afternoon. Unlike incidents, we tend to forget most near misses. The stock ride-height saved the day for me. I'll have a toast to that this eve.
