**** snow, **** using a turbo car as a DD
I had a 2 hour delay from school, so I go to start my morning and drive down the road to the deli, and there is a turn with a guardrail coming up. I'm going downhill, about 10-15mph, and start to brake. Figures that where I start to brake there is snow on the road. The car won't turn and heads straight for the guardrail. I let go of the brakes and turn the wheel and the car turns, but a little too late. Bam, my ****** wheel rails the sewer drain and the car flies into the air. I pull into the deli parking lot and run out to the passanger side of my car. No body damage, but my ****** Volk te37 is cracked, and the proxie has a huge hole in it. Great. My bumper also got pulled off a littleand my R lip got scraped. Holy **** I'm pissed!!!!
Here are some sad sad pictures:
Scrapes on the lip:
Where the bumper got pulled off:
****** broken te37:
Top view:
Uphill shot, I hit the sewer right to the right of the white marker:
My tire mark, you can see it just barely hit the corner:
Sewer:
You can see that someone railed the guardrail right after me, (in the right corner of the pic): (and that's not the teg I crashed, thats my other one I drove down to take pics)
Now, I don't know if the wheel can be fixed, I'm bringing it to a wheel repair place in a little while. My questions are:
1. Where can I find a new te37 for a good price?
2. How do I know if my LCA is ruined?
3. What else could have been ruined besides the LCA?

Sorry to hear but I would have put steelies on 2 months ago. Well worth the cheap money for them......as you have found out the hard way. Poor Volk.

Idk about everyone but my LCA bushing is bad and it sometimes makes a popping noise or a knocking noise when turning or going over bumps. Might not be the case for you Hope everything works out

Pull it out, lay it next to a known-good one and check for warp is probably easiest.

I don't EVER drive my car in the snow, and it wasn't even snowing. It was raining. But since I don't need the volks on now, I took two 14" steelies and got some viking snow tires mounted on em. IDK why, because I'm probally gonna be too scared to go drive in the snow again lol
