These cars can go over a few curbs and be fine, right?

I hit a curb years ago getting onto I-80 and blew up my tire ( F.L ) and my hub cap went flying across the highway.
Funny thing is when i pulled over there was a guy that was pulled over also for the same reason.

ok, just to tell you, most of us assume that people posting here know at least enough about their cars to know what may be bad, i can understand being worried, but you are being way over-protective with your car.. you should have gotten a POS (peice of shit) car before you got this honda, that way you wouldnt worry that much, i dont think i'd ever say this... but i will.. sell your honda and buy a crappy american car and save the money you made off of it until you can stop being paranoid and start driving like an informed person.. its just he way things go.... we all would love to help you but these kind of questions are answered in the owners manual of most cars

PS... you're not the worst i've seen... once a guy told my buddy this in a nice southern accent...
"why you got that fart can on there?" (referring to his 3" Ti Sti exhaust... turbo back baby)
"now what you need is a carbeurator... i got a carbeurator on my Nova and i'm in the 9's..the 9's...."

Well, excuse me for wanting my car to be able to actually last. I did drive a POS car before I had this one, an '87 Toyota Cressida. It had no heating or cooling, and the thing literally stopped traffic on the highway. That's why I'm protective of this one, because I don't want it to become like the Toyota I had. Don't tell me your actually being serious with the selling comment? Oh, yeah, like I'm going to sell the car my parents gave me. It's not my car to sell, especially when there's nothing wrong with it. Once again, show me where it talks about curbs and such in the manual? ****ing geezes.
