Angry Crashed :(

Was on another mountain road (Latigo CYN) and I came up WAY too fast on one of the turns and couldn't slow down enough (or in time) and I just went STRAIGHT into a huge *** pile of super chunky rocks and dirt, rebounded off that into the other side of the street, counter steered went BACK towards the mountain side and ended up sideways (all while bouncing around and me waiting for the airbags to go off (yes it was that violent) so i stopped a 1/4 mile up and me and my friends checked my car out, turns out the damage wasnt as bad as i expected, except for a severely scratched up rim (from the thousands of rocks that pelted it as i went into the rocks/dirt @ no less than 35 MPH, my exhaust is hanging, and my front RS type B lip got OW3ND. So now I need to repaint my lip, get my rim resurfaced (where guys?!) and GET an alignment, my car is ALL Over the place, and my steering wheel is like... ugh...

Anyway, that's my story.

It seems like you like to do alot of canyon driving.
I did a few night time runs at Little Tujunga Canyon Road, 4.5/5 according to your canyon roads website link =)
The next day I discovered most of my tires (205/40/17) were pretty much flat. One tire was below 20psi and the car would go bump bump bump due to the air valve inside.
Is air loss normal?

****, taht blows, just yesterday you were talking about some *** who was not patient with you.

bu i think you might need a camber kit or something if it was really that violent. i had this frined who hit the gas instead of the brake and he went over thislarge rock. he went to take it to get aligned, but the guy said he needed a camber kit. thats how ****ed up the car got.
