winter, snow, not paying attention -> rocco hit

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

you mean your oil pan is bent? (what are you calling "oil sump") if that is
the case I would drop the pan to inspect the oil pump.

=>this winter wasn't so funny for me :(
=>so like I was going at my parents 100 miles away had no problem
=>then on the last turn it was only ice and I wasn't paying attention so
=>the sh*t happened, I couldn't turn right, hit the street curb and bent
=>my nice alloy wheel, bent the left wishbone so that the wheel was
=>with about one inch misplaced to the rear of the car, and landed
=>on some bushes (between 2 trees) and nothing happened except small
=>cracks in the front spoiler and a bent oil sump. The front bumper smashed
=>the bushes and saved me, it's quite solid I guess. Overall the shock was
=>pretty hard, I was like 30 mph, yet besides the wishbone nothing really
=>happened with the roc. pretty solid car :)
=>
=> Replaced the wishbone, everything works ok. Do I need to replace the
=>oil sump, too ? (it's a '88 manual 16v)
=>
=>regards,
=>luci
