    Some stupid parking lot had a normal looking exit, so that at night I mistakenly thought it had a ramp onto the street. Nope! It was a normal sidewalk-height curb.

    The car scraped a bit after the front wheels landed, but I didn't hear anything else after that even when the rears hit the street. The car seemed and sounded fine, so I continued driving. When I got home, I checked under the front and didn't notice anything peculiar. Is there anything I should check specifically? Thanks!

    I did that one time just after I got my license a long time ago. Scared the living $h!t out of me. LOL. I would say that if your not leaking anything and your car is not getting into the Holiday Season and went ahead and put up a Christmas tree on the dash, you should be fine.

    The PC has an underbody plastic shroud. If you didn't rip it up, you are fine.

    I'd carefully examine the area between the front and rear wheels, especially on the rails and the exhaust system for dents and scrapes.
