hit a curb going 40mph

this sucks... i was turning a corner, and when i shifted into second my foot sliped off the clutch and my whole back end slid and i ran into a ****in curb... my life sucks.... there is no body damage... thank god... but the right wheel has moved back, i think i bent the axle, but im not totally sure, and my right rim is destroyed.... does anybody have any advice, other than not to crash my car? cuase this really sucks... not a good day for me...

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?

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
