well tonight i came driving home and went into a turn doing the speedlimit, and the road was a little icy and wet. my tires did not grip, and i came head on with the curb. my left front tire was pointing right, and hit it the curb with a loud bang noise. i had undoubtadly hit and jumped the curb........
my stomach sank and tears began to flow. not my baby i thought. i got out and assed the dammage of what i could see, and the tire was flush up against the wheel well. i know that i had really messed up. my other wheel was just fine, and i popped the hood to make sure the CAI wasnt squished, and the engine bay and block were fine. both were fine thank the Lord. i knew i had to get the car off of the curb so i got in and put it in reverse to back out. CRUNCH SCREECH CACHUNK. by this point i was balling. call me a crybaby but this is my first car i paid for, my livelyhood, my ego and pride in this well engineered machine. and when you spend all that money it really hurts. this car is my joy, when i am sad i go drive.
i called my parents and they came for moral support, the cops and finally the tow truck. i was completely flipping out about cost, insurance debt all those things...... the tow guy got the car up on the truck and i took my flashlight to see what i did....... i bent the armeteur that holds the wheel on, so it kinda pushed it back.
i am so depressed right now i dont know what to do. hopefully the shop will tell me what is wrong and how much it will cost. the only problem is that i know i'll have to claim it and i have a $1000 deductable, and they cut my hours at work. hopefully though i will be able to start my old job soon.
i thank God that i am not hurt, and that i didnt hit anybody else. everyone be careful out there, our cars kick alot of ass, but unfortuneatly ice and water dont help with v rated tires. it also would have helped if i used the break a bit sooner or slowed down quicker before hand. ah well such is black ice i guess........
i'm just freaking out right now, but everyone take care. i will post updates on the progress....... Peace
