I get the clear, concise thunk at times and it doesn't seem the springs are moving enough to top out, but Krice that sounds like something is loose or coming apart.

No, I didn't run over anything. This happens all the time, almost every time I pull out of my driveway. It was just night time when I shot it.

have you tried driving over that same spot with another car, like law suggested? that is a VERY loud noise... honestly i thought maybe your bumper hit the curb or something, but it's not that low.

I'm not sure if the Versa is the same as my Tiida but on my car it has a pretty big air diffuser under the front bumper and it tends to scrape the curb alot on my car if I don't take it EXTREMELY easy out of the driveway.. even though the car doesn't LOOK low.. you'd be surprised how easy it can hit
