-8 degrees of camber?

So I'm so greatful that this did not happen to me last night... I had some fun on a closed airstrip and did 120, then 140, then topped it out at 155+.

I was going to leave for the gym at 6. I pull out of my driveway and put it in 1st and notice the car feels funny and my slip light is on. So I drive maybe 100ft and pull over. I get out and realize I'm not going to make it to the gym and slowly limp my way home.

I jack up the car to find my camber arm bolt is missing. I find it laying in the middle of the street. I don't know the extent of the damage...but it's not going to be cheap By just looking under the car, there are multiple pieces that are bent. I'm having it flat-bedded tomorrow AM. And I just started looking for a house, too...

Damn, Ryan... ... Just be thankful you were close to home at slow speeds, & it didn't happen on the Strip with your high speeds, cause that obviously would have been way worse of a situation for you. Best of luck getting it fixed.
