Default Rain + My GSR just dont get along :*(

Sigh, was taking an overpass... not even speeding, next thing I know, I manage to oversteer the turn and started spin.. brought it back the other way and I think I tapped the brakes (yes which i know was stupid, but while fumbling for the other pedals managed to do thaT) and well shot around the reverse way and slid sideways into the curb. Luckily, didnt go flipping over the overpass.. and the curb was elevated..

The damage.. well

Both right tires need to be changed as well as the stock Acura mags I had.
Scratches on the plastic molding all the way around the right side.
Somehow the quarter panel buckelled in a bit above the wheel, hacked up the quarter panel at the bottom and dented inwards.
Bent door molding outwars as well as scratches on teh door
Lower table bent.
Lower Control Member bent.
Rear wheel is bent severly inwards

Getting an estimate as we speak..
Sigh.

Perhaps you need a better tire (and maybe to slow down?).

yeah, my tires were a bit bald, and rotated them recently, I think thats what could have been a large factor.

Sorry it had to happen this way, but you got bit by the car for cheaping out. This certainly will cost more than tires.

Sorry no pics

Wasnt much of cheaping out, my front tires were semi bald but the back ones were fresh... so I rotated them.

Also found out I damaged the ABS sensors as well.. one more thing to add to the list.

Your best tires should ALWAYS go on the back end.
