Cool is here, and it ain't got no stinkin' air dam <http://www.bangshift.com/gallery/World-Class-426-Hemi-Powered-32-Ford-R oadster-gallery.html>. > The limitation of a front air dam under a car bumper is that it > reduces the road clearance and is suspectible to damage on irregular > road surfaces ( e.g. pot holes). Bzzzzzzt! It's high curbs. Most of us don't drive all that much in Pennsylvania for potholes to be a factor.

The OP (that's me) parks in designated "Handicapped" spaces, which usually have one of those small(ish) curbs to keep one from knocking down the "Handicapped" sign. he one that got me this time had a bolt sticking about 2" higher than the curb itself, intended to keep the curb in place, but it got me in the air dam and tore it off.
