so i was driving on an empty road. speeding. and i realized that the turn i was supposed to take was closer than i thought. i didnt hesitate and i took the turn. unfortunately the sprinklers for the lawns were on and the floor was wet. i slid and hit the curb. =[

around 45 or 55its all a blur to be honestand the curb wasnt even that bigbut since my tire was already turned in an angle it couldnt go over the curb. and i have low profiles so the tire didnt even help..it hit the rim. i cracked the curb though.

i did the same effin thing about a month ago.I then ordered the control arm off ebay, do to weather conditions it took about 3-4 weeks to get here. When it finally came, they sent me the wrong part. So im going to the junk yard to get a new one. But this whole fiasco has been a pain in the ars.
