My Poor Baby
Well last tuesday I was on my way to work going around a turn (it was raining) when i lost control of my car at about 30mph (not speeding) & slammed it into a few kurbs where it eventually came to rest 1/2 on kurb/grass, 1/2 on the street. There was no body damage butttttttttttt one the wheels popped, cracked the rim and broke clean off the axle. Another tire was cambered in, and a 3rd tire was cracked with a popped rim. I have already purchased new rims and tires and will be getting a used rear end for it is cheaper than a new axle. Hope nothing else is wrong with it as its already costing me 1500. Wish my car luck.:(

Dude, that sucks
Sorry to hear about that, man. That really sucks. Hope nothing else is broke. Good luck!

curbs=bad
was it a straight up n down curb or a curved one? I hope it was a curved one, I totalled a car driving straight into a curb - half the car was on the grass half the car on the road, front tires took the brunt of the impact but it bent the frame = totalled
Shouldn't of tried to get away from the po po! |
the car went sideways into the kurb (straight kurb, not round) at about 25mph. The tires and rims and axle took the brunt of the impact.

:( Sorry to hear that, Good luck!!!

Make sure to have the tierods checked and suspension checked. I have a 79 Firbird that slid into a curb during an ice storm few years ago at 15mph and bent a tierod and only dinged the rim.

Thanks for all the support. I hope she's ok. I will find out Friday. If nothing else is wrong I will have the car driving again Friday with 96' cobra rims and 3.73's.
