That does suck, I hate all of the slow panicky drivers that I have been dealing with lately. It is probably just out of alignment but when you take it in just tell the shop what happened and ask them to check it out, they usually check out the front suspension fairly well during an alignment anyway.

I'm as guilty as anyone of you, but you really have to give extra space in the winter for this reason. People just don't think anymore...they see something and freak out. That's what causes problems. People need to learn how to stay cool and not overreact to things or you're going to ruin someones day.

Yay looked at my rim this morning and noticed this curly metal wire sticking out from my rim looks like a chunk of my rim is missing from where the lip to the tire, I'm guessing when the tire struck the curb the force smashed it, tires not leaking but idk it just gets worse

when I was behind that car I was at least 6 car lenghs behind
just couldn't stop
