Hopefully the beefy Camaro Frame held up to the uneven impact. If it is bent, it will never be the same.

Are you sure you weren't swerving to miss a dog?!

If you're going to file an insurance claim, you should delete this thread.

Upgrade the suspension pieces if you can afford it, unless the unibody is torqued... can't get a feel for the car until you try this stuff. Too bad the dog ran out and the curb was there...

Big Brunsy · 05-16-2010, 11:27 AM

no need to lie....I hit a patch of loose gravel when cornering and slid into the curb...I'll leave it at that

jeepguy_1980 · 05-16-2010, 11:32 AM

You said you were trying to do a burn out and continue it around a turn. Insurance doesn't cover illegal activites and the burn out is illegal. But it's your business and I'll leave you alone now.

For purposes of this exclusion, criminal acts or omissions do not include traffic violations.

Last time I drive down that road at night, last time I carelessly go into a corner going so fast. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Does traction control work on situations like this?

You're probably right. Running a red light or speeding doesn't mean your insurance won't cover you, so exhibition of speed is probably no different.
