hey Roger sorry to hear this, good that the kids are OK. Just so you know my car had the same tire lean and it was bent/kinked struts. It's either that or bent control arms. The rear control arms bend if you look at them funny. Not to worry your lovely steed will be back on the road ion no time

Originally posted by The Striped SVT:
So I'm heading N on Jefferson, go around this turn and this HUGE groundhog or posseum runs out infront of me and I jerked the wheel, lost control of my car, dipped into a drainage ditch, hit the passenger side of the car and it comes to rest on a some flat ground.
I've had the same experience in my old 'tique; a huge possum comes out in the middle of the road. This was on the way back from the gym, and there was a small gang of bikers behind me (choppers, not the exercising-kind). I saw it, had plenty of time to react, even travelled a good 10 feet or so, but I decided just to run over it. It felt like running over a construction cone and I was worried it cracked my front bumper. I was more worried it was a dog though.
I hope the Bikers missed it. I think one of them saw me though, and thought I was pretty cool because they chopper'ed on by and gave me a thumb's up. In conclusion, if you think you can clear it you should probably train yourself to run over it.
May fortune favor..

Sorry to hear about this, Roger. The family's ok, and the car can be fixed. Everything's going to be a-ok.

I blame it on ATI. Roger seriously, I started to think about your suspension, and I wanted to see it in the daylight to see if anything was wierd with it. I am soo glad to hear your kids are okay. We will wax her up really nicely. I'll be happy to help ya clean your UIM/LIM, I did my UIM today while replacing a few things under the hood. Sorry for the car Rog.
