Default Help From The S2k Community

Long story short, I let my buddie borrow my baby and he spun out and went up a curb. Thankfully, there is no exterior damage. Unfortunately, my driver rear wheel is pushed inwards into the fender well with the back face of the tire facing outward. (at an angle) If my knowledge is right about my suspension components, i think my trailing arm (if its the right name) snapped in half. both front and rear wheel on the left side needs to be replace. Underbody, i am not sure what the damage will be like until tomorrow.

For now, I will contact my insurance and my buddie will contact his. I will wait to see where we will go from there. I am just emotionally f*** up because this is my baby. 2002 spa yellow not even breaking 12,000 miles yet.


As of now I am at a lost of words. Any suggestion or help or anything will be greatly appreciated.

No I was not. I was doing him a favor swapping cars. I was suppose to take his car and replace some tires. In the mean time he was going to use my car to get himself to work. In the end, everything back fired...

i agree its your friends fault so even as a friend you should let his insurance company handle the case...it was an accident so dont take it out too hard on him could of happened to anyone and it could have been worst, you can ask your ins. agent what would be best for you to do..only advise i can give u...i had my fair shares of accidents i know exactly how its like to wreck your ride....
