well ive had a whoopsies in my sri. i was encountered last nite with a rather sizable dog running out of the dark infront of my. being a sizeable creature and the road having no traffic i swerved (lesson no.1 - never swerve). then for some reason instead of your usal understeer the rear of my car steped out. now due to wet roads it happened rather quickly to turn itself around despite my efforts of oppisite lock. seeing as i was now traveling backwards at 60k's i decided the brake was the next best option. my decision was to late and i collected a rather large box curb ona very square on angle. going up the curb and also collecting a bus pole.
the damage. well i had my rear wheel and hub snapped off the I-beam. front strut and lower wishbone bent and rear bumper pulled away at one corner. rims suprisingly are good save a few marks on them. and no other body damage. hopefully not to much more underneath is broken. couldn't see much in the dark.
got some pics of someof the damage, will post
oh and im ok

lesson number 1: when there is an animal in the road. dont swerve. because 99% of the time, they will run into your swerve anyway.
