Yea dude just be happy that you didnt mess up the body of the car at all, allingment is a lot cheaper than body work.

you may have bent something, tie-rods/control arms. Now could be upgrade time.

I'm glad that you made it through the experience okay, and that your car is only kind of jacked up. Care to comment on little room there is to slide, once you lost control of the car?

I had a similar experience a couple of years ago, on Mulholland Drive. I was at a pretty infrequently used part of the canyon and went up over a blind hill. The top of it was covered in sand and gravel, and the other side of it banked down and turned sharply in the opposite direction (think the cork screw at Laguna Seca and you're not too far off of what it was like). Luckily I was only doing about 30 at the time, but the car still stalled after I spun it nearly 360 degrees.

i think i will start to upgrade everything now since it is just sitting there, and where i slid its only like two really tight lanes, it got a little wider at the top but not too much

Woo Hoo! I am getting good at this stuff!

Oh, and good news about the car, could have been worse!
