The only damage I think it may have done to the car was the alignment. However I wont know till tonight. My dad came out to put a spare on but he needed some other tools to take care of it so he took me to work and will go back tonight.
I think im just going to replace that rim. Im looking at a new car this week so im not planning on doing much to the celica than just making sure it can run enough to get around town. -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

I cant seem to find the wheels anywhere which blows. So i guess ill be rolling around looking like a doofus for awhile.
I wasnt speeding or being reckless either. Just driving and like a dumb blonde just hit the curb on a street I know pretty well. Once a year something happens to my car. A year ago almost to the day I was pulled over for reckless driving when i was close to my one year with no incidents in my car. Then today I was just thinking how I was close to another year with no incidents and how in the first roundabout I thought to myself that I felt like someone was going to run it and run into me so I made sure I was going slower in the 2nd roundabout but obviously not slow enough!
