Not only does the M4 like to jump curbs, it sounds really bad when doing it.

Good ole turbo motor! Maybe the fake sound pumped into the cabin sounds better for him? Ha ha.

OP - the car wash probably did more damage to your paint and car than the curb. I'd book it in for full paint correction and get them to take a look at it....

Also learn to wash it yourself and pay someone that knows what they're doing to wash it.

When all else fails, blame your tire pressure. I don't know what possessed him to post his defense on the internet. Nothing good can or did come of it. **** happens, fortunately no one got hurt and he's likely learned his lesson about traction control and summer tires in cold temps.

The summer 911 tires do lose traction in the 40's for sure. They need warmer temps to keep stuck to the pavement.

What??? What could possibly cause that? Even in my 13 shelby when flooring it and changing lanes, never did this happen lol. This is the greatest video ever though.

Consider the car wash curb just practice...........I love running the curbs fast on the many roundabouts here in WA, just like F1
