Accident...so bummed.
It was the weirdest crap ever. I was making a left turn and it was as a street with one way, left. In between was a dip and it was wet. I was going like 10 miles per hour (i swear to God even the people on the car agree) and it suddenly hydroplaned. I would have let it keep spinning, but I would have hit oncoming traffic and someone else behind me. So i counter steered, kicked up on the curb, kicked a tire off my driver's side rear wheel, and then my front left fender hit a small wall. I called triple A and I installed a spare...and after driving, i figure that now theres frame damage. When i drive straight, it looks like the car's going another direction. The back wheel that hit the curb is like tilted inwards on the left side of the wheel if you were looking straight at it, with the L emblem straight in front of you. I'm really bummed as hell right now. It sucks.

post pisc... it doesnt sound too bad. im thinking maybe a bent control arm, or worst case, maybe you bent the subframe.... whick is not to hard to replace. now, go to your nearest huge open parking lot, and practice getting out of situations like that..... trust me, it helps.

Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago...took out my whole right rear suspension hitting the curb.
Somebody is out to get them Gold SC's in Cali dude....good thing I'm going with aftermarket suspension instead...LoL
Bummer part is, I screwed up the right rear Manaray rim that they don't even make anymore
Oh well, time for new rims....AGAIN
And I wasn't even speeding....I guess it was just my time....
At least I'm still alive....it could have been a lot worse I guess...
There will be better times bro...that I promise you

Your car will be fine.
BTW, do you have rims on your car? Are the tires bald? Maybe bad suspension?
Just trying to help determine why you hydroplaned at such a low speed (in addition to the dip)..
