A deer ran out in front of me and i swerved to keep from hitting it. Only the roads were still wet from the amount of rain thats been going on here in florida. I slid and tried to regain control but on a 4 lane road evided by a median, you just have no room to work with. Especially when the road is coming around at a slight turn/angle. I slammed into the curb with and hit it hard, both tires at the same time. The car even lifted up onto 2 wheels before it came back down.

Actually i did all of the above. I broke a spindel, bent my rear axel, had to replace 3 struts. hell i hit so hard that the rotar on the other side (the driver side) shattered from the impact. Not to mention the other 2 roters. I got brand new cobra R's out of the whole thing. Parts and such alone were 1500 dollars.

I am missfiring bad. I ran the tests, and my codes came up pretty inconclusive. I dont think i have a bad sensor. I am pretty sure all my wires are good. The codes that i did have were just from the exhaust leak. The only code i didnt understand was the ect code.

Grrrr, my baby is hurt.
