Broke my rim, Bent lower control arm, cracked or broken knuckle, possibly bent frame, bearing...


20mph, turned on ice hit curb.


Where do I start? ugh. every 2-3 weeks im putting hundreds into this cursed money pit

[Chris7130]

sounds like you don't like the car.... is it your only option?

Sorry to hear about damage. Was it black ice?

[BrOnXxBoMbAz213]

i wouldnt touch it unless you determine if your frame is bent... most likely that totalled it

[stavlen]

man it had to be black ice. under fresh powder... trying to find a z34 car for parts... all the ones i find are too far away... would a 95 work? 95 ls i think.....

Was turning at 20mph or less and just slid slammed the e brake and hit the break and just slid hit hard, the tire is starting to bend in like / not that severe but its shaky as hell and pulls hard to the right... Insurance should cover it right?

[NiftyMonte]

so wait, you were trying to take a turn at 20+ mph with fresh snow on the ground and when you started to slide you hit the ebrake and the brakes causing you to spin the back end around faster and you think the car is cursed? i think its the driver...

[stavlen]

no. the back end didnt turn. the car didnt even turn i was going straight. and my gf says it was less than 20mph. the front right tire got hit, the car slowed down almost stopping before i hit.

i have never been in any accidents with this car. not cursed? ive had the collant leak hit me twice in 2 years. 3rd alternator. 3rd starter. cat needed replacing, lots of problems. paint pealing off bumper for no reason, during summer its constantly washed and waxed... every 2 weeks or so. replace all fluids every season change, have had sensors just go bad. 75k miles.

Part B would not cause part A...

Did you have the wheel turned when you hit the curb? If so, I could see how you would get that kind of damage. That sucks man. Hope you find a way to repair it. Do you have full coverage for your insurance? If not, then you are footing the bill.

[ComradeRedXv2]

i doubt you bent the frame at that speed, is it too early to make fun of 3800power? lol, at least you were driving normal

[me6894]

Ya these damn money pits just bend control arms and suspension parts for no reason just because you hit a curb doing 20

[stavlen]

its my fault. on a wide turn (about 3 car lengths) i slid across ice under 20mph and hit a curb. apparently since it was a collision and nature has no meaning in my 900+ premium insurance bill, I have to cover it myself. f*ck 21st century

those of you that can reply without being negative, thanks!

to me6894. this is my first accident since i have had in this car. its a money pit because i have paid over $4k in shop work in the last 2 years.
75k miles on the car. maintenance is done as neccessary and always kept in good shape, so there should be no problems with it. I wasnt saying its
a money pit strictly based on a single accident. come on now.


zipper;
yea it was turned about half way. car slowed down a lot before hitting. my gf was shocked when i found out how much was wrong with it.

Wow, that definately sucks. At least you didn't have the body kit on it.
