That's terrible roger! Everyone is ok though and that's what counts. I'd bet money there's no frame damage...just need new control arm(s) and an axle. She'll be good as new in no time.

Glad to see everyone's OK too.
I was in a similar situation once and let me just say for all intents & purposes, cats DO NOT have 9 lives.
Oncoming traffic to the left, roll up the curb on the right, hey, the path of least resistance was right up the middle.

Insane. The best Contours seem to be picking a lot of fights with the accident gods...and losing.  Well it's good to hear you and your kids are in good health. Anything we can do for you/your car, you know we're all here for ya.

I am glad to hear you and your girls are okay Roger.
As far as the car....it looks comestic......the wheel bent in just looks like a bent control arm....maybe or most likely a broken ball joint.....
Good luck mang!

Glad to see that you are OK, and that the car is not in worse shape than it is. Hopefully it is only minor damage...
