It just happens that i am a p-plater in australia but i have 4 years of driving experience behind me in other countries. this has nothing to do with young boys and turbo cars. it could have happen to anyone not familiar with the car enough. although, there are the young hooning types with whtever old cars, i am sure i m not the type that would leave burnt tire marks in the middle of the night or stuff like tht. like huy said, we repect our cars.
even though this is a small accident it has big impact on me where i feel like i m not worthy of driving the car. but wht the hell...accidents do happen and lesson learned!

anyways, do u guys think the rims could have been bent?
the 2 machnic i went to said these alloy wheels are quite strong.
If they are Alliance rim repairs can repair that as well.

But from what I have seen with these rims, and I hit a Kerb WAAAY harder than you have, they are either ok or they completely crack in 2.
