Can't belive it i f*kd up...
 
Well I feel Soo stupied for what I HAVE done to my BABY MONTE :( Yesterday Im Supose to be at work 9:30amto6:30pm I Woke UP at 9:00 So Quickly get ready. Its 15 Min drive to work on my way to work Stop at tim hortans (coffie) and on My way to work. 2 BLOCKS away from Work Down a 60Km main Road I hit a MEDIAN CURB. BOOOOOOOOM Front Left Tire KICKS me to the SKY THEN BAM back LEFT WHEEL Smoke it. :( I Couldnt Belive it. Front left Tire POP. Rim Well NO SCRATCH Could be BENT/cracked :(

I Dont Know how I got soo Close to the left side of the road befor the curbs start again..... No BODY DMG Cant belive that..... Not even Undercarage floor/rockers. I put 2 of my Good stock rims on the front.

Car Drives Stright, No bad Viberations, But The wheel Is turn 1/8 turn to the left. Looking at the strut the left side Bottem plate were spring sits is deff 1/4 Inch Closer to the Wheel then the right side... :(

Going for alliment Monday 10Am they tell me whats Wrong then Go from their.. If not to bad Ill change what ever I have to and get them to alline it up. If to $$ I guesse ill have to go though auto pack (Insurance)

Unbealiveable

Hi `Steven, Sorry to read about your mishap, but it could've been so much worse 4-Sure...

Great that your Monte Body & yours did not get hurt :thumbsup:
A two hundred + dollars still hurts + future tires, but it couldn't been a lot higher...

Hard lesson learned 4-Sure...They all are :eek:
Wish you better luck & stay away from those curb's that jump out @ `ya...

from their many mistakes in life...I still am : )

Sorry to hear that something happened, but I'm glad it was nothing MUCH more serious!!!

Take it easy from now on. If you are running late, you need to skip that coffee stop ;)
