I was drunk Sunday night and let a lesser drunk friend drive the roadster.
He made a U turn going about 5 mph and went over the divider. Now
I have a large scrape near the rear wheel well; about 5x3 inches. The wheel looks fine, but seems to have been pushed inward about 5 degrees or so.
Would a simple alignment fix the wheel issue? Or has something in the suspension been bent.

I know I know, I shouldnt have let anyone drive the Z.

Your advice is much appreciated.

 

5 degrees ?

That's a lot. Looks like your good for a suspension upgrade !

 

All I have to say is "Friends don't let friends drive drunk"......and MF lettin' a drunk friend drive YOUR Car.

Both of you drunkards should have called 1-800-YELLOWCAB4MYDRUNKASS

 

Can’t tell without looking at the car. Hitting a pot hole might require front end alignment. The incident that you described sounds more serious. You bent something.

BTW you can keep your shoes. I have several pair.

 

dumbass
be thankful it was only a divider he hit, as opposed to something with a pulse
whatever it costs to fix, consider it cheap

 

bent suspension, get ready to open that pocket book. Next time call a cab please.

 

From your description, you'll need to replace something bent. But it can be fixed. Think of it as paying for a good but cheap lesson, could be a lot worse.

A much simpler fix:
Leave the car parked, have another drink then look at it again. It may fix itself by then.

 

But you know beer googles will disappoint you in the end. You'll eventually wake up next to a fat chick.

Lets say its the control arm that was bent. How much would it cost to fix something like that?

 

Sorry, don't know the price. Chances are, it'll be more than you hope.

 

Idiot....

consider yourself LUCKY!!
