Yes, the turning radius of the Prius is excellent. A bit too excellent, because my confidence outweighed my common sense. Of course, I figured the worst that would happen was that my tire would go up the curb, but apparently the hubcap sticks out a bit. Great.
I scraped my hubcap and the cement from the curb filed down the edge a small bit, definitely tearing away the small bevel on the outer circumference. Oh, no! Perhaps I'll take a picture so you call can see tomorrow.
In the meanwhile, I'm depressed about what I did! Is there any way that I can file out or smooth the roughness now on my hubcap? It won't be perfect anymore, but perhaps I can make it less obvious. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
