Rep Power: 0 ran my new 2010 civic off road - need help
OK, I was going about 40-45 and not paying attention and ran the right front and rear tires off the road. A loud bump/bang/jolt rang through the car. I pulled back on the road and stopped at the next turn to inspect my new baby. The shoulder that I ran into was a couple inches lower then the road surface and is mud/dirt/grass. Here is what I found. There was no damage, scratches, etc anywhere on the visible exterior. The black rubber air dam/deflector under the front bumper had no scratches or damage either. The only thing I noticed was mud caked in the front right toe hook under the car and the tie bar (? the bar that runs from the front left wheel to the front right wheel) has a mud scrape. Other then that, no other apparent signs of damage and no other scrapes under the car.
Long story short - what should I do? Should I have the dealer put it in the air to inspect it? What could I have damaged and what should I ask the dealer to specifically inspect if I have them put it in the air. I have been paranoid about scratching/damaging/etc this car for the last couple months.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks
