just a mater of getting used to it I had a 350Z before this 06HCH and got used to both of them although this Honda definitely has more ground clearance. So Cal Freeway driving not in prime time traffic averaging 47 MPG love this car.

I've scratched my rear bumper a couple of times and knocked the spoiler off with the garage door.

This sounds like a similar situation - just got to be careful.

First week I owned my HCH-1 I scratched the right front air dam on a curb. I never heard the noise so it really p'd me off. So now I'm extra careful not to pull too far into a space. Fortunately, its low enough so its not too noticeable.
