Default Damage report please...I am an idiot

well today I decided to try to be a hard ***... needless to say it didnt work, I was doing a burnout slide into the other lane, tried to correct my steering and swapped ends, sliding sideways off the road into some dirt. the car still seems to drive fine. What could I have broken, bent, etc. and sould I be worried.

If all you did was slide into dirt and nothing seems different, I would not worry. Now if you hit a ditch, that would be different.

I've spun out before (on concrete though)


You should be ok.

Do not drive like a ricer.


You should be alright since you only went in the dirt.

Yeah I guess I found the limitations of my right foot. Honestly it was one of the scariest moments of my life. the back end ripped around real fast. Next thing I knew I was off the road in the grass.
