I know this isn't like anything major... I just lost control and went plowing into a sidewalk curb.

But its just shocking because my car's kit sits pretty low to the ground, and its fiberglass of all things... And yet I went head on into that curb, it did not break. I swear I'm the queen of getting lucky when it comes to this kit... There have been SO many times where if I were not more careful, I could have f***ed it up royally.

But yeah... Hit a patch of ice on a down hill turn, I guess I was taking it a little faster then I really should have, lost control and went straight for the curb. (thank god no one was on the sidewalk at the time - not that I went over it anyways...) Miraculously, the kit went up onto the sidewalk, and my rim took all of the impact of the curb. I dont know how the hell that happened, but damn... I'm friggen lucky as hell, that could have been REAL ugly.

And of all rims to get the worst of it, it was my bent rim laugh.gif Poor thing has been through hell by now, but when it hit, it broke off a pretty big chunk of the metal, so I'm gonna havta replace it now. And then my sealing on the front lip cracked... but well.. it was already pretty cracked to begin with... I'll get pictures of that rim... its pretty nasty lol

But this whole ordeal did leave me scared sh**less I'll give ya that lol My first "car accident" lol I was so shaken up by the whole thing the extremely nice guys helping me, offered to drive my car into my work parking lot... I'm obviously fine though laugh.gif Just a bump on the head haha

But yeah...

I HATE SNOW!
