when I was 16 I had a 92 Camaro (I know) that I loved dearly anyway but one snowy night I slid it around an icy bend and slammed it into a 5-inch curb. I didn't need to check the alignment...because I hit so hard the rear axle broke and the wheel broke off.
I was super bummed, but I guess it's a miracle I didn't get hurt. Oh well.
