Right rear wheel totalled...
So coming into work parking lot today, (which is totallay iced over) I was messing around, pulled the e-brake and smacked my right rear wheel on the curb. The Enkei is totally bent, I'm thinking my control arm may be damaged as well... That was stupid...

...yeah.. I ran home at lunch and got one of my stock OZ wheels (Thanks for the offers guys but I still have the stock ones...) I limped it over to Discount Tire and the guys were laughing at me when I came in... So far the Tally is $133.00 and that is only to replace the wheel... What a dumb *** move on my part... oh well...guess I need to do some more dumb **** before I turn 30 in February...

Now you really cracked me up.

Stay up kid.

Continental extreme contact ZR 17 M+S rating..they work surprisingly well... better snow grip then the stock crappy Goodyears... It wasn't the tires fault... Well... I have yet to jack it up, but the lower control arm is $75 and the upper is $65. They have the lower in stock so I hope that is the f**cked up one...

I did something like that before I got my lancer, it was in my old 96 Eclipse. I was driving down a road that has the michigan style turnarounds in the middle doing about 80mph.. a guy pulled out in front of me and I was forced into the turnaround so I didn't hit him. I was still going about 70mph and it was a little bit icy on the turnaround part (main road was dry). I hit the curb doing about 60 and slammed through a 3ft snow bank stopping 3inches from a huge tree. I scared the crap out of my friend in the passanger seat. Luckily I was able to back out from where my car just slid through. I drove away and my wheel had a severe thump and pulled to the right. I pulled over in a Tim Hortons parking lot and my rim was bent about 3 inches and the frame had to be straightened out. I don't drive to stupid anymore. hehe. Lesson learned.
