First post....A hallowen tale.
Been a long time lurker on this board. Thought this was worthy of my first post. How ironic that a cat crosses in front of my wife on Halloween and causes this? Wasn't a black cat though. Ruined both passenger side tires and rims and severely bent suspension parts front and rear. Notice how the front wheel is pushed back a few inches and the rear wheel is poking out. She knows now not to dodge the cat and hit the culvert next time

That is a horrible first post! :( Control arms are bent for sure. It shouldn't take them too long to get fixed though...along with some new rims. Sorry.
Otherwise, welcome to Camaro5.

Ok, so you then asked her what really happened! So who's car is it... hers or yours? That'll buff right out. Sorry, just had to say that. Hope insurance take real good care of you.
On the bright side, you can get a whole new set of wheels that you had your eye on for some time now but put off from buying.

That sucks. It's just human nature to try and avoid objects in the road.

I've swerved to miss cigarette butts. Anything in the road, I react. I bought the road hazards on my new P Zero's, but I can't help it.

The wheels on that side had a couple knicks in them anyway, so new wheels will be a plus.....And right side tires.
