wrecked my car :/

Was leaving the mall, and had to go down this access road to the stop lights. I went to change lanes and broke traction on all 4 tires. No amount of gas/correction/braking would straighten me out, and since the road is maybe 30~ feet wide, I couldnt avoid hitting a curb. Hit the curb about 20-25mph, and it really FUCKED my car up. I had to buy pretty much a new right front suspension. Got it from a junkyard for about 150$ + all the other stuff I needed, I dont it done, was waiting for a rear lower control arm bushing

Anyhow, here are the pics.

Good thing about is, its I replaced aged cv joints, and bushings

Plus I got a decent set of these 15" rims from a buddy for 50$ lol, I Dunno how they'll look yet, but it'll work til I can afford the 17's I want.

Not to go off topic, but I've got a full 2.25" catback (running into a cherry bomb at the current time, but I plan on getting a megan N1 in about a month or two. Full custom air intake and a nice system. Its an automatic, but it still moves out

I <3 mah 2.4. Wish I could afford a civic but right now my car does alright. Gimme another 18 months til I'm out of college, I'm going to an auction and buying two like 97's or 98's. A hatch and a coupe. Coupe will be my daily driver, and the hatch will get turned into a project car and maybe if I have time I'll autocross it. I dunno

its a 96 grand am se, coupe

heh wrecked it saturday, fixed it by yesturday evening. I need an alignment now. Helps when you have friends who know what they're doing, and where to get replacement parts. I had to buy a whole new front right suspension from a junkyard. Heh the rims actually look pretty decent on my car too. I guess its good enough for now. But I just lost my damn cell phone last night while I was doing all that running around ~!@ GRRR.
