'...scotty, check the damage...' 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Blake on  Tue Nov 25 16:57 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Well, long story short. I took a turn too wide and saw the curb coming up fast, I cut the wheel sharp, and the good old Volvo understeered and nailed one of those high "square" curbs. I hit it pretty hard too, about 20. I pull the car off and look at the damage: The rim, with one heck of a dent in it, and wheels pointing in opposite directions. The tire was holding air, but I changed it over to a spare anyway. But driving it is like trying to run on stomps, gross noises and a whole lot of pain.... So I just pulled it off to the side, I wish I was a AAA member... It was a left turn, so it hit the right side. Like I said before, the wheels were so out of whack that when the steering wheel was turned half way to the left, the right wheel (the side i hit) was about in the middle. Anyone have anyidea what type of damage I did to it? With the Suspention, rim? Prices? Stories? Anything will help. I did it at about 11 a'clock at night so im waiting till morning to get a good look at it.

Thanks so much,
Blake
