hey guys its 9:45 eastern time... 2 hrs ago... the worse thing happened and it was just b4 i was going to leave for the sage diner meet.... i dropped off my friend at his condo/place of living... and after i dropped him off i was taking this curve... Guess whats sitting in at the end of the turn... a nice stray cat... so i turn really quickly cuz i didnt wanna kill him/her (loves animals) then from this point on its hard to remember what happened...

After i steered away i steered back really fast but then lost traction.... i countersteered to the left bc i felt my tail swing out to my left...but then i couldnt regain traction and therefore hit the curb on a nice slant with my front left wheel....

After a couple seconds i got out... heard a nice hissing sound (tire air) got back in to regain composure... i check the damage out... wheel chipped nice and bad... tire effed up....

Ok... the wheel is set back farther than its supposed to... my friend came by me and used his AAA stuff... but by my guesstimate this is what needs to be fixed/replaced

U know those things that holds the wheels... yea those are all bent back... lol

Thats the worse i guess.... if its that extreme im guessin maybe replacing the strut and spring....

Maybe a reason for Type He's eh?

This is my first accident... but live and learn right... just letting you guys know that im ok and the car other than the suspension and front wheel is ok... thanks whoever gives me condolences lol...

hey guys... man i posted this up on IFX last night... just came back from the mechanics... guess what i need...

ok... me and my mechanic just looked at the poor thing... here's a list of what has to be replaced... by oem prices... them really expensive!!!

lower control arm and link + bushing
New strut for both sides now... just to keep them even
Inner tie rod and end
stabilizer link... i forgot the real name for it... is that it?

yea... thats just from looking at it...

ok well... i decided to dip into the savings and just get the type HE's... might as well damnit (telling himself)

ok guys i'll keep ya updated

 

all i gatta say is ouch man that really hurts dude, damn cats!! I love cats and animals and all...but if the poor thing is right there im not ganna put myself at risk and try to not hit it.

 

that really sux about ur car, but glad to know ur alright. sorry, cats suck ***. i would only swerve to miss one to avoid body damage to my car...

 

if you see an animal...you should never swerve....just hit the brakes...

think about 18 wheelers...big rigs...when they see a deer they have to hit it
theres no way they can sqwerve or they'll roll..


an animals life versus money out of your pocket...hit the brakes hard man..you musta been goin pretty damn fast to lose control

 

i smashed a possum wid my back tire before.. i didnt swerve because i thought he'd stop.. my friend was following close behind me so i didnt wanna hit the brakes.. but "bump!" felt kinda like a soft speed bump.. it popped up into the air and landed on my friend's hood.. i jes herd tires squeel and i was like.. WTF happened?? i pulled over and he was all "dude!! that animal you ran over jumped on my hood!!" blood all up on his white paint and windshield.. heh.. thats what civics get!!

 

^lol...

 

damn.
i replaced control arm/tension rod/sway bar endlink/tie rod and tie rod end not too long ago.

We are gonna get you fixed up nice. The family takes care of it's own.

New or used **** is at our fingertips now!

Expensive but they are top of the line.

What do you run on your car?

 

i left out an important factor... friday night it was raining...

::sigh::

well thanks to everyone, i've got a plan already and the funds by the end of the week to cover most if not all...

my driving ego is hurt... lol but i bet if i had like 3 ft more room i wouldve regained control... all well it already happened... like i said im just thankful that nothing else happened and no one else is endangered... thanks for the replies guys :-D... stan thanks for helpin too... maybe at the next meet the car will be done and i wont drive it till i leave for the meet... lol ttyl guys
