crashed my car up getting on the interstate just a second ago! Not bad really, the front driver fender looks like guys who ride too low, the rear driver rim is RUINED, but still holding air, and have a very interesting alignment. I'm hoping nothing suspension wise is bent, as it still drives straight when you let go of the wheel, and overall the car still drives tight. Hope for the best for me! haha.

BBS- i went and looked it again, I guess it looked worse while my adrenaline was going. I chipped the lip a little bit, other than that there is no rash on it. i THINK an alignment job will fix the toe. it looked bad at first but I would say that it got bumped less than .25 inch.. might have bent the spindle which would suck. I guess driving an automatic Yaris for three weeks and then switching to S2000 in rainy conditions was a factor.. it crazy how powerful an S2000 feels after the Yaris experience.

Oh well , I'll get Island Brake to look at it and see if it can be corrected without replacing parts tomorrow.

Getting on H1 east from king street up by the Humane society. There's a fish hook entrance ramp right there that I had some fun on.

thanks man.. here's a couple of pics

not as bad as I originally made it out



and a view from the top so you can see how it got tweaked


I got it aligned just now at Island brake and the farthest the camber will go on that side is -1.7. he said it was -.5 when I took it in.. it was -2.4 before I hit the curb.. the toe adjusted back to the specs I asked for, however the front left caster will not go above 5.4 degrees so I guess I bent something on the front too, because I used to get 6.5 degrees on both sides up front. oh well. I guess when I make it my track only car I will change to all racing components anyway so no big loss!!

^way to be optimistic....atleast you didn't get injured and the damage could have been way worse....i say just go all out now...full race setup, no more stock class for collen......and i think the wheels are fixable from that alloy wheel repair guy.

oh yea that on ramp is good fun. i always need to do lightning counter because there is a bump on the right side or something that upsets the car.
