I've done it before, almost the exact same accident, although I didn't have as much money in my car as you.

Dude...sorry to hear about the bad news. FYI, Kumho Supra 712 are not all season tires. Those tires would be hard as a rock below freezing temp. Zero traction.

Doesn't look too bad.
The wheels and the suspension system took most of the force. You probably broke the control arm and the tie rod. Nothing that can't be fix easily. Doesn't look too bad at all. Body damage is what cost more and it looks like you just need a front lip.

, when the rain takes a break that is
ive never actually seen a rim snap before. thats terrible. but you know it could have been a lot worse. replacing 2 rims wont be so bad.
question...how come your the lights on your trunk lid arent lit up?

Sorry to hear about your curb meeting.
A word for the wise:
You guys down south shouldn't try driving in the snow. You don't get enough, or any of it usually to know what effects it has on your driving abilities. ESPECIALLY if you still have summer tires on 17" rims. Thats just plain stupid. You have ZERO traction with that setup. Save your car and stay home if you can.

teH Winnar...
Summer tires + inexperienced winter drivers + bad winter weather = accident.
Sucks about the accident though.

dude don't drive in snow with that setup
and if u find yourself in the snow, don't slam on your brakes. that's how you lose control.
just word to the wise
