is my car going to be okay?
i parked at a parking lot for like a shopping plaza type thing where the cars face each other in the lot and theres like a small cement bank separating each side...when i got back in the car, i forgot the bank was there and drove over it...my car got stuck on top of it...my friend and i took all the stuff, including the spare out of the trunk to make it lighter and took us a while to drive it out...all the while, the bottom of the car was being scraped...i looked under afterwards and i didnt see any immediate damage...and waited a long time to see if any fluids were dripping, nothing......anyone familiar with the underside of the car and knows of something that could have been damaged?

should be no problem, most of the underbody is covered in plastic panels. maybe scraping of your sideskirts? or your resonator/rear silencer. but I doubt theres anything wrong.

if it hasn't happened now it probably won't. Take it to Pep Boys, jack it up & have a good look underneath.
Hope everything turns out OK. I did the same things with my Toyota!

Bottom of my front skirt, is all white, all the paints been scraped off.
When I get my new rear bumper painted, I'll use the extra paint to fix this.
Got it caught once and it cracked right in the middle dammit! But still intact.
Just snapped it in place.
I've scraped on several occasions, especially when I've got the back loaded with crap.
