    she didn't. my tire was back about 2 inches and it was tearing up my fender. pretty much i was 4 minutes from my house and could've made it home except i would've had a popped tire by then, so she got a tow.

    You seriously didn't bend a rim? I was going 30 and bent the shit out of my rim. Control arm wasn't that bad though. I hit my curb straight on though.

    Just want to say thats not as bad as it could have been. My GF did the say thing and I had to replace almost all of the suspension at every corner. But sorry to hear and see that still does suck...

    40 mph, yo' man, it could have been a lot more damage...
