Unhappy accidentally drove with bags airred out

Hey guys, This morning I was barely awake and had to go to work. Didnt realize my car was airred out and started my car. Put the car in drive and gassed a little bit before hearing some scrapping.. stupidly realized my car was airred out.. My main concern is whether I did any damage to the bags or my car? I only drove about a foot or two.

If your wheels never touch the bag when aired out and you didnt gas it too hard then you should be ok. I would jack up the car, take off each wheel, and inspect each bag for any tears or any minor marks.

Air it up. If they stay inflated, you're fine. But of course it is best to visually check each one for possible damage.

I think you should be fine. One of my airlines got loose one time cause the alignment shop bent my airline and it snapped on the freeway... I drove for probably 0.25miles to the nearest exit and fixed it at a gas station... needless to say since you only drove about a foot or 2 it looks like you should be fine.
