Was drifting in snow and hit a curb... killed my rim and broke the lower ball joint and damaged the steering knuckle. Anyone else fuck up like this? Pic related but not my car.

Ahh shitty man. I've always drifted around in snow but so far I haven't fucked up hard at all. Can you afford to fix it or is it just gonna have to sit for a while.

I'm pretty good about not living check to check but this will basically whip out checking... so that blows. Plus I only paid 2400 for the car. Just needed something to get to school and stuff after I moved and I am now spending half of what I paid for it in repairs because no garage and snowing.

Was driving my 68 GTO (suspension mods) on a deserted windy road that I knew well. Gravel - slide - pendulum - hit curb HARD. Bent frame. Felt like an idiot. (Always pre-run your hoon roads kids!).
