Ouch!! Any word on the extent of the Damage?

Control arm, tie rods, all 4 wheels bent, shocks, struts...

pretty much all suspension.

Damn, I saw in a prior post that you had hit a curb, did you cross it at an angle?

"It was a very freakish accident.

The story in detail minus some parts before the accident:

I was getting on a access road (rampage) my tires were cold and the road allowed no grip. As Gimpo said, various things could have thrown off my traction such as a rock, etc.

Not knowing my speed I go into the turn. I lost traction and begin to correct myself. When I did this my ass end went into drifto mode and I began to slide towards the curb. Thinking that if that had happened I would have flipped so I turn the car towards the curb a little and begin to lose control. My left front wheel smashed into the curb and pops me up in the grass.

As my back end started making it's way my right back wheel hits it's inner wall into the curb and when that happened my car bounced back onto the road.

That's about as good as I can explain it."

I'm sorry I made you relive that...I'm glad it didn't flip over on you.

Yea, the reason I turned it more towards the curb. It's just common sense, if I hit it the way I was going, I would have flipped over, no doubt. There would be no way with the speed I was going that I'd be able to stay on ground.

It's fine to relive it. I learned a lot from the night and I hope it never happens again.

So I dropped off the TurboYata over at Kev's place yesterday. From what he said, my car lived a double life. MOre details (and probably pics) to come/follow.

Oh, did you see those wheels I was talking about?

those are some nice wheels! Too bad i have already got all my vehicles equipped(unless I update one of them). Jacked up the car today and checked the slave cylinder, it is leaking plus the fluid is darker(muddy color) in the clutch master, topped off the fluid and clutch felt better. Off to flyin miata's website to order some parts. Goodies for the baby, maybe add a Randall Cowl intake to the order (glare)
