Fucked up my car like an idiot. My alignment is REALLY off after popping a curb quite hard because I did not drive safely. My left front rim has a bit of damage to it and the car pulls heavily to the left. All I want to know is how badly do you guys think I fucked my car up, I'm already furious at myself so please refrain from ripping into me, I just want to know how bad it COULD be and how much it MIGHT cost me at a MAXIMUM.

do u have any vibration? you could have bent your rim. the cause of the severe pull could be a bent/broken tie rod. or at worst maybe a bent/broken LCA or hub. if its the first one, it wont be expensive and you could probably do it yourself, if its a hub or LCA it might get a little pricy and/or difficult.

Have a mechanic check it out. Depending on how hard you hit, there could be some bent parts . . .

Well to update the situation I have the lifetime alignment deal with Firestone so I took it in, they fixed the alignment and that was that. Ended up not costing me anything except a lot of pride and some aesthetic damage to my rim...which on the bright side gives me an exuse to invest in some new ones. Thanks Xsta and Michael.
... sounds to me like you can use a hug or something. thats terrible man. good luck to ya
