Hey Apbaphil - My condolences. [V] That's one of the hardest things about driving the SLK. Going VERY slow when entering a parking lot and SLOWLY pulling up to those concrete curbs. The natural tendency is to progress at a normal speed when entering a parking lot as well as pull up until your wheels touch the concrete curb. Unless the curb is very low (under 5 1/2" high), you're going to scratch the underside of the lip. I purposely park in areas of the lot that don't have concrete curbs and if I can't avoid it, never pull UP to the curb, but WAY SHORT of it. Of course, that exposes the rear end a bit, but so far, so good. [;)]
