EX35 drive over sidewalk curb

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Has anyone driven onto and/or off a sidewalk curb with/without scraping the bottom? I was tempted to try recently when a maintenance truck parked and blocked the parking lot exit, but there was plenty of space on the curb and no traffic around (stadium parking lot). It's the only time so far I wished for my old 4Runner's height-clearance.

Speaking from experience, I wouldn't recommend it . I accidently ran over a curb that divided a parking lot and scraped up the underside of the black plastic under the door on the passenger side. I have an appointment with the dealer in a couple of days to check the alignment. I' m praying that is the worst damage I did. What a sickening feeling- never even saw the curb.
