Can everyone stop hurting their cars?!


Not ignoring the damage, ignoring the event because the car IS damaged, and it doesn't matter whether it was the driver punting it into a curb, or the curb coming to life and taking a few whacks at the rim with a baseball bat because it had a grudge. I want to hear and see the damage, the police and insurance adjusters are the ones who care about human actions.


Glad to know you've got enough rage for the both of us because all I'm seeing is a post from someone that, at this point, feels like they're actively trying to be angry over a misunderstanding. If you were in OP's shoes would you like to have the spotlight put on the mistake that led up to the damage occurring? I wouldn't, I'd like help understanding what is wrong and how to approach resolving the issues.
You seem to think I'm blaming him. Shit happens, I've punted my old mr2 into a curb too. I'm pointing it out as the first thing to fix, and I insisted on it in my reply to you because you said, and I quote.

C1231 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor - Faulty Operation
This is why your steering alignment is off. The sensor is either out of calibration or needs to be replaced.
And went on to theorize about pinched wires and washing the car.

The help op needs is first and foremost an alignment rack and a perhaps a few parts, his bruised ego will recover soon enough and he'll be better coming out the other end. Showering him with wild suggestions that have no relation to the obvious cause and effect at play to spare him the embarrassment is actively hindering him, his misadventure was an accident (i presume). No, I wasn't blaming him, I was replying to and blaming you. Your outlandish reply to his issue was deliberate, it was no accident.
