    While parking, there is a parking post in front and I hit hard at about 1-3mph. The reason as that I had engaged the parking brake but it was still in drive which caused it to roll. As soon as I realized my mistake, I tried to press the brake and ended up pressing the accelerator. I inspected the damage and there is no dents, only a scratch. Do you think anything else was damaged? The engine was reeving (accelerator was floored) just before it hit (then the car moved backwards).

    Can't say for sure, but my guess is no harm no foul

    If the bags didn't deploy, then it wasn't a crash...just a hard landing. :)
    The car is almost certainly just fine.....You don't have a package # listed, and I'm not even sure what they're calling the V's this week, but even so.....you're probably gonna be OK.

    Do a test flight on the cruise control if you're ATP equipped.
    Fix the scratch.
    Move on.
