Sad first post

I hate this has to be my first post. After I got the car running again I went for a drive yesterday and hit a stupid TX curb. NOT GOOD

Oh man that sucks. Maybe it's time to get some wider wheels? Just trying to find a positive spin on such a upsetting post.

Yea my buddy said something like that as well since I wanted to get some different rims with a lip.

Now is a good to to upgrade a arms or whatever there called.
I even think the sway bar is bent.

At most i was doing 40 maybe less. Just took sip of Monster drink and went to put it back into the SMALL cup holder. I missed and looked down and Bammo. I was riding to the right already I guess. The curbs here are freaking everywhere and they are straight up type. I think I hit right at the culvert thing.
I havent done something so stupid in a very long time and I wasn't even drinking per say.
Just ordered a set of coil-overs and tires from Ohio Speed then going by dealer to buy the control arm. Then discount tire to order a rim.
$2.00 Monster drink is gonna cost me over a grand
It could have always been worse.
