Default another z falls victim to ice

well i was driving home from a friends yesturday trying to get the car back to my house because it had started to snow. i stopped at a stop sign and turned right, but there was about about an inch of snow with a layer of ice underneath and the front of the car just washed and drilled a curb. gonna need new upper and lower control arms, tie rod, steering knuckle, front bumper (maybe just repaired), and new rim (i hate the stock rims so im just gonna take advantage of this and buy new rims. here's a couple pics

I feel sad to hear about it, I wouldn't even try to drive my baby in the snow, hope your car get back to normal without any other problem. I got the OEM upper control arms if you need, just let me know.

actually that would be great. is there anything wrong with them? i know they'll need to be replaced and with my level of modifications i dont really see a need to go aftermarket. plus that way i may be able to use some insurance money for more fun things haha

normally i dont drive in the snow. i was actually trying to get the car home because of the snow. i just knew that we were supposed to get 5 or 6 inches and it would probably be best to get it home as early as possible
