the curb won. now i got a broken axel, broken rim, bent side skirt. My passanger door won't open right. My hood has a bigger gap on one side then the other. The strut tower was bent. The tire is hitting the fender so i can't move it. It's pretty bad i mean there were pieces on the floor including some ball bearings. Poor Sheila (my cars name) i can't believe i did that to her. Here's whats left of my rim.

hopefully my insurance will cover it if not then i'm royally screwed
just thought i would share this

 

thats not a fight dude, more like a brawl.

wtf happened?

 

i was on my way to work and there's a specific way i go to avoid traffic. it has a left turn and i guess i took it just a little to fast and went straight to the curb. wheel took most of the impact.

 

ouch... dude that sucks.. sorry bro...

 

Puch .. damn kid that hurts just looking at it.. I'm surprise the air bags didn't go off.. But yea the Curb F'ed you up ... ..

 

Sorry to hear about that mate.

My xB is named Sheila, also. This is the same fate I fear for her. Hopefully your insurance will take care of it.

 

but don't feel to bad at least you didn't get your ___ kicked this bad..

 

jesus, tell me you at least got some sweet airtime after your wheel exploded...

 

WOW

 

here are some more pics of the damage

here is where the pieces shattered


the insurance guy said the same thing happened to him and his was a total loss. makes me wonder.
it didn't feel like i got any air time and if i did is was probably for only a sec.
my rim might not be as bad as this but i'm pretty sure i am able to take a pieces off if i tried
looking at it now i am surprised they didn't go off i mean i hit pretty hard
now it's just a matter of the waiting game. my insurance said that if it was covered my deductable would be $1,250 is i get a rental or $250 if i don't get a rental. guess what i'm gonna do

 

a $1250 deductable? wow.. you must hardly pay anything for insurance!

 

I know the pain dude, not as bad as you, but it surely ____ed me right off

 

Holy S*&%, sorry to see bout ur losing battle. Live and learn man, and dont go back for a 2nd round.

 

wow!! hopefully everything works out fine

 

How fast were you going exactly? You def. did a number on your car!

 

understeer's a b!tch eh?

 

wow... just wow.....
good luck bro and let us know how it goes.

 

yeah... by a little too fast do you mean 60 in a 25 :-P

 

i was thinking like 80 in a 25 right into a curb... i feel ya man, i got swiped into a curb going 40...

 

crap dude, it might be totaled.
