OK just so you all know.. this happened saturday night about 2 AM, in my 93 ATX SHO, I was not listening to the radio, I was not drinking, I was not under the influence of anything, it was an accident.. I wish it could all just go away.
It's the dumbest thing anyone could ever do.. except for mabye backing into a parked neon or something.. j/k ashley.. I went around a corner too fast and slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel.. but it wasn't enough.. I hit a curb that was on the higher side of an unlite, winding, canyon road. It was a big left turn right after an easy right turn. whatever.. so I come out of the right turn, think to myself.. "OMG!!!!!!!" and then I have the brakes on and the wheel turned to the left as much as I can, .(.Now I can see in my head... all my dreams and hard work going down the drain, I see it hitting the curb and smashing the car..) but then I hit the curb, just a loud or deep, I don't even know how to describe it.. a small point of contact and then I'm back on the road slowing down some more.. I slow.. slooow.. around the rest of the turn then around a right and finaly bring the car to rest on the following left turn.. turnoff. I jump out and go look at the tires, now noticing that the rear tire was shooting air out of the sidewall and is missing a chunk of the wheel I don't even think about taking it off and putting on a spare.. I jump in the car and drive home stopping once to put air in.
Here are the pictures.. the first 6 were taken by my passenger when we stopped for air at the gas station. The rest were taken today when I got home from work.
Hmm. Now as I'm uploading the pictures I just noticed that the chunk wasn't missing until I got home. I don't know maybe it's all for the best.. it might be run over by a car (as I walk to all of this months destinations) and then fly up and hit me.. some how putting me out of this pain. I know it's just two wheels and a set of tires.. and upon todays lit further inspection.. a scraped front bumper.. But it's more then that to me, I'm now unable to fix the car as I have no money, I Don't even know what to say... I'm just going to put the pictures up.. this is the order they were taken.

And after I hit the curb.. there was a clicking.. like when people have old brakes or something.. and as the wheel turns it goes click click... faster as the speed increases.. it did that and the steering wheel was at a 90 degree angle turned to the left, which I guess makes sense since there wasn't any air in the back right and the front was very low.. But I think hitting a sidewalk at high speed could mess up the tie rod ends.. [b]Can anyone help me out?[/b] :(
