Default after hitting a curb in a slammed civic

i was drunk and driving home. i wasn't that far from home, and some idiot overtakes me on a 2 lane road and makes a left into a 7eleven. i look at him and turns out, when you're drunk, you tend to steer where you're looking and i was making a left onto a street and cut the turn too short, running over a median with a curb about 6-8 inches high. went over the **** and messed up my car. radiator was cracked, fan broke, lip is gone, foglight cover broke off, and my bumper is fucked. so please, dont drink and drive. i was lucky enough to walk away from this w/out getting a dui, getting hurt, or hurting anyone else. i thank god im still alive and it could have been alot worse, i consider this a wake up call and god gave me a second chance and i will never drive drunk again. ill let the pics do the rest of the talking

yea, that's so true. i did learn the hard way. man, i thought this would NEVER happen but it did and im glad i got this lucky to have a second chance like this, alot of people dont get this opportunity and there was a valuable lesson i learned here.

on the positive side, it is fixible. im going to be getting a new radiator support from the junk yard or something and then have someone straighten out that "rail horn" and re-weld another rad support on.

im still looking for a bumper foglight cover and wings west rs lip so if anyone wants to help a brotha out, let me know

You are lucky... it could have been a 6ft pedestrian rather than a 6 in. curb.

if you need a bumper there is a place down in chula vista (kinda far from you) that sells oem bumpers for like 15-25 bucks, they also have fenders and rad supports for many cars...it's called "certi-fit"

still glad to hear you ok, that's what the devils wine will do to you though

ill take that into consideration if a oem bumper is too much.

i heard this thing about certi-fit, that they call it "sorta fit"
