Scraping sound this morning

Hey Guys,

So I was pulling out my car this morning out of my garage and had to turn right sharply in my narrow alley. I noticed a loud scraping sound coming from my front left tire. I'm not sure if it's because it was too cold (about 64 degrees farenheit) or if I was turning it too much (which shouldn't be the problem, right?). I wasn't pressing the gas either, I was just letting the car roll out of the garage. I got out to check to see if there was anything stuck in the tire but there was nothing. Once I straightened out the tire, the sound went away. Any ideas guys? This is a new 2010 G37 with 950 miles on it.

Is this the first time this has happened. And has it happened again since the first time. My guess is that you either ran something over or actually hit something leaving your driveway.

This is the first time it's happened. I see squished fruits on the floor but no trails that lead from my wheels. Plus it sounded like metal scraping metal.

This used to happen often to my old infiniti. Whenever I would pull into a gas station or something, where there would be a slight incline, and the wheel would be turned all the way. Had it checked, but nothing was found. Never did figure it out. Hasn't happened to this car yet though.
