Default Aftermath of my GF driving...lol (w/ pics)

Its about 1:30pm on Saturday and were comming home from shoppingthank god..So were making a left into the front enterance of the neighborhood its not sharp its actually a pretty wide turn about 3 lanes worth of road and shes doing about 50mph....

I feel the car start to slide we do a left 180 than a right 180, the tc hits the curb sideways, hops the curb and were sitting on the sidewalk, i get out real quick and see if anything is damaged hop back in and tell her to go home.. The security gard just watched and the person driving in front of us kept going, I occasionally hit this turn a little excessively in MY car because i dnt have stock suspension and i have vsc to keep my butt planted lol

On to the pics!



Heres the curb the car went up on and hit, you can see the tire marks

check your alignment and the wheel bearing. my wife hit a curb in her Mazda3 going about 10 mph in a shopping center. chipped her wheel pretty badly. her wheel bearing wore out a couple months later and something bent in the suspension. I cant figure out what she bent, but that side has -0.7 more camber now. Thats after I replaced a bent strut.

Thanks man.. honestly i dnt know how fast we were going when we hit, the spinning slowed us down a ton thank god, im so thankful no one was on the sidewalk it could have been so much worse.
i pulled the wheel and was checking out the entire suspension ,etc
when i get this new wheel ill have my mechanic check the car, alignment, etc

LOL. This thread is fun. I let my GF drive my car more often than I should. Maybe I should stop allowing it. :-/ My only rule has been "NO DRIVE THRU". I can see her rashing my new wheels.

And I must say... that spare wheel on the white looks SICK! Put on three more, slam it, and she can ride hard! Haha.

No, no, no. She hasn't curbed them. Not yet. Which is why I shouldn't let her drive my car.

Ya know... I kind of want to sell my S-Tech/Tokico combo so that I can go for coilovers. Hmm...
