Default g'damn killer squirrels.

So.. today wasn't such a good day. I decided I would run my G through the car wash after work. Its one of those automatic ones ( I was lazy ). I pull up to it, pay and pull in. I sit there for a few minutes while it does its thing, then when it is done I start my car and go to pull out. Well, I could tell when I was pulling out that I was a little too far to the right. I kinda turned the wheel a little bit to get over and my steering was really hard. Right then I felt my rear wheel scrape the rail. I about pooped.. literally. I thought for a second it might be something else so I got out and went to see what had happened. My Volk SF-Challeng was F'd. Half of the lip is destroyed. Well, not destroyed but it's hella messed up. So I was so worried about that I didn't really think about my steering problem. I dried my car off and went to get back into the car so I could take it home and then I realized my power steering wasn't working. Also, the battery light was on and so was the brake light. I drove it home like that and when I got looking at a few things I noticed the belt had came off. I couldn't believe that it would just come off like that or break becuase my car only has 8k miles on it. So.. I get out a drop light and look a little more and here is what I found.

Ouch. But that's why you don't go to those automatic washes...especially with high dollar, wide rims.

It was quite the night for sure .

It was literally the lack of power steering that made him do it though. He cranked the wheel enough...if he had power steering. I've taken his car through the same drive-thru wash with no problems.

I think the situation was pretty funny, except for the rim damage. Pics of said rim damage?
