:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

buy a honda civic then you wont be going fast at all

thank man... makes me feel better.... :(

what kinda advice you lookin for get your axles fixed then ebay for your rims ebay has nice deals on rims for camaros

check your rear LCAs since you bent your axle. Check your rear brakes since you bent your rims. Get a used axle, and get new rims.

You sure you weren't doing donuts? ;)

ouch.. shifting into second going 40mph.. what were you expecting?

advice? none that I can think of. sucks, and nothing is going to make it suck less :P

now at least you have an excuse to ge tsome good aftermarket LCA's and panhard rod, and rims :D

either that or make a junkyard run

i think my whole frame is gone, well thats what they told me... so if i get it fixed, will it still be good, or do i have a glorified peice of ****?!?!?

i dont think your frame is gone.:) if this makes you feel any better, last week i trashed my rear. got it fixed (700$), and go to work. at night i go out, drink, then go race a stang. i nailed the curb at about 65. bent the axle, rim, rotor, and scraped the crap out of my rim. feel better yet?? ;) :) anyway, i found a place thats gonna install a remanufactured axle for 100$ (axle and labour for 100$), got rear discs and pads for 80$, so its not "that" bad. now the wheel itself has me worried. im figuring anywhere from 100-150$. ill know on monday. i know the feeling man, but i doubt your car is wrecked, cause i nailed that curb at quite a higher speed than you. i nailed it so hard it brought the car to a complete stop. good luck:)

I went to the stupid auto body shops and they told me that its gonna cost 1800 to replace the crossmember... this has gotta be bull****... i've seen crossmemebers for like 200 dollars... cam anybody tell me if this is right or if this is BS?!?!?!?!!?!?! please help....
