ok, so saturday night i had two friends in the car and we were leaving thier place to go to a rave in San Antonio, when as we were comin down the hill to leave and comin up on the corner (rated as 10mph), i let off the gas (was only doin 15-20 guesstimate cuz my speedo isnt wired up...) to go around the corner when my stage 2 clutch grabbed, makin the front tires lose grip and causin the car to slam into the curb. The resulting damage was one cracked Kombat front bumper, a fucked up rim, and misalignment of the front wheels. It didnt help that there was a pile of loose gravel that I didnt see goin up the hill earlier. Atleast there isnt any more damage than that, cuz the last time i curbed it, i was goin twice as fast n the rain (i was an idiot then....) and had to replace the bent hub assembly that resulted from the crash. The worst part is i wasnt even tryin to fuck around cuz i had just washed the car to impress the girl i was taking with me to the rave. This and the fact that I ended up breakin up with my girlfriend three weeks ago while home on leave didnt help, and tryin to drink the sadness away didnt help, it just gave me an incredibly horrible hangover. so theres my sob story .............................

letting out the clutch caused you to fly off the road? wow, now i HAVE heard everything.

sorry all the same.

no what it was was I was still getting used to my new clutch and what happened was I didnt put the clutch in like I should've and used too much brake after the tires had already lost grip, but I learned quickly and it's never gonna happen again.

Man, that sux.......good luck gettin it fixed man....

i curbed my stratus...at abouth 10-15 mph....messed up the control arm, ball joint, and hub......another reason why i got rid of it.
i feel your pain

Any pictures of the damage?

I can get pics if you want.....the only damage was a cracked Kombat bumper(soon to be replaced), misalignment of the wheels and suspension cradle(fixed), and a permanently out-of-balance 17" Seki rim(getting taken care of)
