Bottomed Out

I was driving down a side street tonight and right where the street was crossed by another one there was a huge drop in the road. I couldn't slow down in time and I bottomed out pretty bad, think movie scene with car getting air over a hill It wasn't really that bad, but the car is brand new. I checked it out and there are no scratches to the underbody except for the little metal tabs that stick down are a little rough. Anyone else do this? Should I be worried? I'm just a little paranoid cause the car is new.

Is it stock height or did you drop it? If it's stock, you need to slow down!

You're not going to drive it up on two wheels or anything, are you? If the car feels fine, it probably is.

Yeah, you're fine. It's just those tie-down tabs from truck shipment. They'll protect more important stuff I guess.
