Welcome to the club, and keep an eye out for the curbs! If the car doesn't FEEL broken, chances are it's fine... but I'd still just the stealership to look at it.

seems to be running fine, but like you guys said, im actually nearing my first thousand miles. should probably hit it over the weekend. so when i go to make an appointment for monday which i think is when im going in for my complimentary checkup. should i mention anything. basically what can i say that wouldnt sound like "hey i was driving and i did this wicked jump onto a curb and saluted it as i drove off" lol. but seriously. any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. i only hit those curbs when i was turning into a parking lot. so i wasnt going more than 10 mph or less. and im saying 10 just to throw in a buffer zone.

ive hit one curb making an illegal u-turn... center divider came out farther than i thought... i guess thats why you dont make u-turns where they say you shouldnt... you are probably fine... but if you are worried just get it checked.

thats fine and all im just wondering what i should say to them when i get in. i dont want to void any warranty by being an idiot. or maybe i should say that the car kind of drives a little to the left maybe?

aha, but when i got it it had like 200+ miles on it. it seems to run fine, like i said i was just worried. its not like i was speeding and i just hit the damn curb. i was turning into a parking lot from the street. the tire just went over the curb.

I work at a Mitsu dealership, and I don't want to make Mitsu look bad, but if you jump a curb and damage your car, the mechanics *may* laugh at you when you're not around.
Also, more importantly, they won't cover that under warranty. It's the same as asking "if I buy a new car, and the next day I t-bone another car, is that covered under warranty?
Sorry if this sounds kinda brutal, but I don't sugarcoat things
