Oh Natalie, thats no good! What are your plans? Getting new wheels or repairing those ones? Did it damage the car at all?

Holy crap! thats intense! what an unfortunate event.

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
The only damage I think it may have done to the car was the alignment. However I wont know till tonight. My dad came out to put a spare on but he needed some other tools to take care of it so he took me to work and will go back tonight.

I think im just going to replace that rim. Im looking at a new car this week so im not planning on doing much to the celica than just making sure it can run enough to get around town.

wow! good thing you're alright? can you still find those rims? I've always like them.
I cant seem to find the wheels anywhere which blows. So i guess ill be rolling around looking like a doofus for awhile.

I wasnt speeding or being reckless either. Just driving and like a dumb blonde just hit the curb on a street I know pretty well.

Once a year something happens to my car. A year ago almost to the day I was pulled over for reckless driving when i was close to my one year with no incidents in my car. Then today I was just thinking how I was close to another year with no incidents and how in the first roundabout I thought to myself that I felt like someone was going to run it and run into me so I made sure I was going slower in the 2nd roundabout but obviously not slow enough!

so ur getting rid of the celi?
ooo natalie! i loved those rims... too bad :-/ didnt you do this same kind of thing when u got pulled over? just not as bad.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
lol no when i got pulled over last year it was for reckless driving because I got angry with someone :-X

i havent curbed this badly for a few years. :-( lol damn curbs!

I love my rims too :-( hopefully my dad can get me a new one. Theyd look good on the new car

"A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Oct 3, 2008 - 2:01 PM)i rather be a slow turtle in risk of extinction, than a fast locust, that you can see everywhere and need to be terminated.
Id take the whole car as is if i lived closer and was out of college.

yeah Natalie, you want to swap some parts? I'll swap you headlights and $$ wink.gif

The curb strikes again!

that's too bad. but it could've been worse. i hit a curb once HARD after trying to avoid a car accident.

all the damage was contained to the passenger side drivetrain..

tore the cv boot,
cracked axle,
bent hub assembly and control arm,
broke wheel bearing and lug 'stud'?
steering spindle
bent caliper and mount, smashed rotor
blown strut, not to mention a crushed rim.

i might be forgeting something but you get the idea.. my wallet took a hard hit too! haha

it put me back a little financially but i couldnt imagine losing my celica to a garage, yard, or some dip that wouldn't appreciate it.
That is really sad! However the important thing is that you avoid the accident and you are in good health now!
I believe the curbs start a war with us...!!!

Face your fears, Live your dreams!!!
silly people when will they ever learn, curb > all ^^
We should make sure the curbs don't have any weapons of mass destruction...
