Bit by bit my daughter is chipping away at the car. Saturday it was raining and while making a left turn at a light she lost traction and slid heavily into and over a curb. Both right side wheels broken, front wheel pushed back against the fender. Probably broken control arm or worse. Fender dented, leading edge of rocker plastic crunched. I was able to drive it off the curb and to a parking lot before having it towed. No airbag deployment.

It's at the body shop now and I'm waiting for an estimate. No collision insurance on the car (my fault) so I'll have to eat this one. If (HA!) repairs reach 50% of BB value I might salvage it and walk away. Just the wrong car for her. An old Grand Cherokee 4.0L RWD I6 might be tough enough. Or a 940.
