1. Learn to drive
2. Check the brakes...(your probably right)
3. If its not the brake then you bent something which means oh crap

i guess from slamin the brake while turnin...
but then i gassed a bit much to recover...

oh... well... gimme some credit... if it was the average driver the result woulda been a totaled car

I have..... to a point that the deers antler lightly scratched the paint and never stopped 2 months later a deer took my dads car in the side and cruched the door.

Could have been worse.......but might wanna get your car looked at if its not the brake

Yeah I figured as much the way you were describing it......I say just get a new one even if its straightened it will never be the same and the integrity wont be as strong...IMO

Scenario:
1. Nighttime, slightly foggy. Two-lane highway with 55mph speed limit (damn you, Illinois)
2. Two jackals doing 30mph right next to each other.
3. No amount of honking or light flashing motivates them to go any faster
4. I get bright idea to make a quick shoulder pass around them.
5. Notice Im accelerating in 2nd gear toward a large chunk of salt
6. It wasnt so much a large chunk of salt, as much as it was a large chunk of rock
7. BOOM

I pulled over at the next possible exit to check for damage. And somehow there was absolutely none. I still have an oil pan, a trans pan, and nothing is dented or has a hole in it. So I just put on a custom rear bumper cover that says "MUSTANK"

The moral of the story is: be patient with slow drivers. If you hit a rock on the shoulder of an expressway, you'll immediatley find out that next time, the rock should be made of kryptonite. Anyways: commence flaming, jests, etc. I deserve it. LOL :stupid:
