Not the crash at the end of the video but one later that snowey night i slide into a curb… bent the crossmember and broke both lower control arms I was taking a wide left hand corner and basicly I understeered right into the curb (downshifted too early or hit the brake too hard before I turned in or it could be a mix of the both) becouse of the snow I couldn’t brake the speed and I guess I was too busy s\*\*\*ing bricks to turn in and drive over the curb to do less damage so I bounced off it doing probley 40ish ![http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/536/dscn0539gk1.jpg](http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/536/dscn0539gk1.jpg) ![http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8305/dscn0534mw7.jpg](http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8305/dscn0534mw7.jpg) ![http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6222/dscn0542lv1.jpg](http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6222/dscn0542lv1.jpg) The rear is fixed but the front still needs a lot of work. ---

Its a automatic and open diff so its kinda hard to slide it in the dry. but it can be done it wasnt that bad gaining traction as I thought it wouldve been (thank god long island is flat as hell). I put some fresh 205s in the rear for the winter so I could cook the other ones down to the metal. my tire budget is too limited though because of my pay check and now haivng to replace the front cross member and those arms so if you wanna donate to the tire budget let me know beocuse once it drys up here i’m gonna be needing lol ---
