i only had liabilty, and thats not my house, its my buddys, lol. Im gonna look at the damage today. But when it happened and as i was talking to the cop my buddys were looking at it real good and i kinda lucked out with my car being so low because instead of jumping over the curb and wrecking everything underneth i just boucned off it. So it ripped my wheel outwards and broke my tierod end, stearing knuckle, brake line, wheel/tire. So not TOO bad to get it rolling again and i dont care bout that cause its all parts to replace. Just the rearend, the car is no longer mint. So i guess i just gotta make my car put it on the bumper in a wheelie so i can tell everyone its from that, lol.


NEXT GOAL: Project Wheelie Car!

you dont have to tell anybody jack ****. some bullshit happened, a freak accident, so just put a new back bumper on it. is the trunk ok? is it just the bumper? bumpers are cheap and easy to replace.

think about it like this, if the motor blew up, the car would have shut off anyway, and the key wheel would have locked more than likely

That sucks, you did end up saving the motor then though? If so thats good, and not injured, so thats also good.
