Nothing I did, other than being stupid enough to leave my car with a valet parking attendant. Arriving late for a meeting at the St. Regis in Houston and forced to leave car with the valet. Upon leaving later that evening, watched in horror as right before my eyes, the valet drove my car up on a curb despite having plenty of room on either side. At least they will pay for the repair, but the first one still hurts!

Nothing else has failed on its own, perfect so far...

Curbed it the first week I got it smiling back at a lady who was smiling at me. Just light damage to the rim, but its a constant reminder to keep my eyes on the road when I'm driving.

The only thing that seemed broken was my interest in an Infiniti M35
