Default Car meets curb. 56K beware

Well I wreaked my car
I was turning left from a light and I decided to give the car some power to hav some fun, and before I knew it I was sideways. I guess I over corrected and did a 270 the other way and ended up on the curb. this just isn't my week

OMG!! I don't look forward to that day that I'm too comfortable with my new Vortech.

I really feel for you. Let us know how much the damage is. What doesn't look bad on our car, damage wise, can turn out ugly after a teardown. Best of luck to you.

Now, that I look at the pictures more, I think it redefines "Counter-steering" It looks like it hurts. Good luck

If you wanted quadrasteer you should have gotten a Chevy Silverado.

That must have been one heck of a shot to bust out that rear wheel. Good luck with the insurance adjuster.

So sorry jon...

It doesn't look too bad except for that rear wheel. I'm curious to see the damage. Looks like the A-arms snapped. Possibly the axle as well?

I .can not believe you had the composure to actually get out of the car and take pictures rather than just swearing and spitting nails for hours! Hopefully, no tickets involved either
