Major Curb Ramping :(

Ok, well, this was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I was in my schools parking lot, it was wet and dark, and I was going to pull my ebrake, I was getting some speed, about 35-40, and out of the dark about 15 feet ahead of me.....
A median, in the middle of the ****ing parking lot! It has curbs on both sides and slants down like down 6 feet, across 20 feet y=-6/20x. My friend had recently hit a curb and got about 2 grand worth of damage to his car because he slid into it and bent his frame and a lot of other things. SO I decided, just go over it instead of ebraking and sliding into it and possibly flipping and rolling down it. I hit it, ramped all but 3 feet of the median and popped my front left tire.
The weird thing is, I was going to get new tires the next day, weather or not they had popped that night... So.. Next day
I go to walmart, get 4 new tires, go to sears to get them aligned....
The ****ers there tell me my car has extensive rust damage and a bunch of other shit that I dont remember. and now I need to know what they told me, because, 2 months later, both my front tires blow out, and I'm f*cked.

If anyone knows what could be wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it, because I love my car, even if she is really ugly and ****ed up.

1990 honda accord, in need of some serious help.

C'mon, be easy on the guy, he's just having some fun ...

Are you saying that your front tires are blown? Sorry, it's not that clear to me ...
