fuck. drifted into a curb this morning.

come around a corner sideways and there is a truck coming at me in my lane. Only options were him or the curb. Heh, i am pretty sure i ruined the strut, definitely bent the control arm, wrecked the front bumper, ripped the endlinks off, ruined the wheel and did a host of other damage…

meh, that’s what insurance is for. But the car is definitely not driveable.

don’t drift on public streets kiddies.  
actually, fuck that. DESTROY THE FUCKING STREETS!

getting pics…

no, that’s not it. This would have happened even if i had the stock shit it. I was intentionally drifting, but there was a vehicle in my lane as i came around the bend, so i aimed for the curb instead of him. Should have seen the look on his face.

no, they love me there.

And i drift this corner every morning. The new suspension had nothing to do with it… The road was completely blocked… it was either curb or car.

I chose curb.
