Hey guys i was out drifting in this parking lot while it was wet and i hit this dry spot and it made me catch some traction and made me go straigt instead of turning, And i tried to stop but it wouldent stop cause it was wet and I went out of the parking lot and ran over this rock about 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide and it hit my frame and it left a big dent in it and ive got a picture of it and wanted to ask you guys how bad it actually was? Is it something i should worry about? If so can it be fixed and how?

Wow, thats pretty rough.

However, I've seen some worse frame rail damage caused by improperly placed jacks, so I wouldnt worry about it too much. What's done is done, and its probably not worth your money to fix that. Just keep driving it.

you have nothing to worry about. Don't be scared cars aren't that vulnerable they are made out of metal.

NO! The fact is you shouldnt be doing this in the first place. This is the kind of **** that gets our cars tagged.
