Had an accident, car never the same?
I was merging onto a highway when an idiot decided he would drive his cavalier along side me, I speed up, he does the same. I slow down, he does the same. This is when I look ahead and notice a huge rock on the road (what its doing there is beyond me) I hit it. Blew my rim outta round, blew my tire. I get out in a furious passion looking for the rock. I find it, throw it as far as I can into the ditch. I walk back to my car when I notice a Ford Explorer pulled over. Not thinking anything of it.. I call apon the wonderful mitsubishi roadside assistance. I tell them my location and where I want it towed. as i'm talking to the wonderful lady a guy knocks on my window. This is how our conversation went:
me - "What"
him - "HEY MAAAAAAN, DID YOU see the HUUUUUUUUGe ROCK in the middle of the road"
Me - "Yeah"
him - "Crazy **** hey? I smoked it too, blew my tranny and tire/rim"
Me - "you mean to tell me you hit it, and didnt bother moving the EFFING rock"
him - "no man.."
me - "WHO ARE YOU!? You MORON! God, GO AWAY"
I have the car towed and inspected (Thankfully I have a full set of mitsu tires/rims for spare) and give them a tire to put on. The tire gets balance and all that Jazz.
I bring it to a suspension shop and they tell me that my control arm is eff'd along with some other things. I brought the car back to the dealership and they say theres no front end damage. but it seems to pull to the left... and it's almost as if it'll knock out of allignment QUITE easily (running over small imperfections in the road)
The toe and camber were out a great deal. they fixed it.. but.. seems to be out a little
any suggestions?
Horrible story.. i felt like I kicked my baby square in the face. Only difference, I like my car and never want kids!

make sure u get the chassis aligned, coz when i guttered mine i had to have it taken to this place with the machine to do some sorta scan thing to make sure it was geometrically straight(or something along those lines)
but hopefully insurance will take care of it all (mine did a fantastic job)
