Default My Subframe Broke!!!!!!!

So i'm at work, you know, working and my mechanic who is going to change my valve cover gasket calls and says, "your sub frame just broke", and I said "@%#$&@*%%#*((@(@%$$!%$^#*&^(&#(*&(*&$%#*^$#$@*#(", ain't that effed up? Thanks to 574-SC300, I will have one in a few days or so. My heart is broken, and i'm going to cry now. So please guys', a moment alone, Thanks.

From what I know it doesn't require removing the sub frame to get to the valve cover gasket!

Did it crack while he was working on it, or was it discovered to be cracked when he looked at it?

good thing for him "your sub frame broke" now he gets to charge you all that labor money to put a new one in and i bet he tried to sell you one too unless your car fell off the lift or you have been hitting to many jumps in the sc lately its very hard to break a sub frame.... actually ive seen cars fall off the lift and not break anything other than a bumper

I have broke a rear subframe in a 240 before but that was after years of abuse and drift events. Does you car have anthing done to it to break the subframe. If you need a subframe I have one in my garage off a parts car.

It broke on the way to the shop. My rear struts were pretty bad, maybe that didn't help.
