I decided to drive the car to work this morning, what a mistake.
Some a$$ decided it would be a good idea to run me into a curb. We were traveling down Telge rd doing 40-45mph, we were side by side. He pulled into my lane (I was in the right, him in the left), I honked at him and we looked into each others eyes. Of course mine was a "dirty" look. He just stomped on it and got his back tire even with my front and then just cut into my lane. There was nothing for me to do but slam on the brakes and cut the wheel. In stead of just scraping the curb, which would have been nice in comparison, this all happened at the entrance to the parking lot JUST BEFORE THE COMPANY I WORK AT!!! Nailed the curb head on with the passenger side. Just got the car home and I am in the process of putting it up in the air top assess the damage. Initial inspection in the company parking lot yielded no loss of fluids, inter-cooler appears to be fine. Hopefully it's just the rim and tire. However I suspect there to be some suspension damage.
Damn I'll be pissed for the remainder of the day, WTF is wrong with people now days!?!
Everything happened so fast all I know is that it was a guy that looked to be in his late teens early 20's driving a blue car, couldn't even tell you what kind as there was a lot of other things going on at the time.
The question: Of course I'll be looking at just about everything on the passenger side, initial look is there is no fluid loss, car starts and runs (at least for about 100 yards total), no obviously broken suspension parts (besides the rim). Appears that the HAHN side mount is OK.
Anybody think of anything I should check in particular for possible needed repairs?
