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.
