Well, a wise man once said (in drifting terminology at least) when you race hard and get crazy, you break things.
No pics of this one yet, but a brief survey of the area shows no structural (frame) damage, but I taco'd the passenger side rear control arms. Anyone with a 1g parts car that can spare a passenger side rear upper and lower control arm assembly? I'll be digging into it tomorrow for a full parts list and taking pics.
But boy.. was it hanging out. Just before that puddle.

yea, I'm fine. My girl was in the passenger seat talking on the phone with one hand and hanging on with the other whenever she heard my warning .."hang on, here's another turn". I was slicing it up real nice like and then a patch of wet asphalt right at a pivotal point of the turn ceased all forward momentum and sent me straight sideways. End result was 3 wheels up on the curb, the passenger side rear had a 6" piece of the lip broken out and it is twisted at a freakish angle. I pulled off the curb.. sidewindered my way down the street to behind a patch of trees and called my buddy with a rollback. My fiancee.. God bless her.. never even hung up the phone, just said "please dont do this in traffic..okay?"
Well, I guess now I have the excuse I needed to re-finish my Volk rims and send out my radiator for a company to duplicate in aluminum. I hope the car isnt down for long..time to start looking.
