ok , this is gonna b dumb but bear with me!
after school today i was on the way home and a dog ran out infront of me in a very narrow country road (back way home since I didnt wanna follow a bus) and I swerved into the other lane , my wheels locked and I went into a ditch , up part of a hill , back down that same hill (missing a phone pole by inches!!!) , nack into the ditch and half way onto the road ... (the dog is fine for all of u dog lovers!!!) So after this lovely adventure in the weeds I got out of my car to inspect for damage (always fun while shaking a little -> gotta love that adrennelin) and I found no visible damage ...
Besides having a new and improved pull to the right (allignment) and my shakyness about tight corners , wut should I b checking for ?
I have checked the following :
Body damage
Oil pan
exhaust
tires
any other suggestions ?
thanks guys ! I'll try to keep it on the road nest time ! Cheers!

Well at least your car is ok. Look for leaking fluids ofcouse.
But you should really get it in and have it alligned. If there is anything wrong with the suspension, due to your lil escapade, they will be sure and let you know about it....lol
Oh and BTW, I brake for no animal. I know whay to many friends who have either died or seriously injured while swerving to miss a mutt. My life is a whole lot more important than an animals.
I remember exiting the freeway one night I was slowing down, on an uphill off ramp, doing about 70. When out of no where, a cat just bolted out in front of my car. I had no way to go but over that lil furry bastid. The lil mofo actually cracked my front bumper.

In Pennsylvania, even in the suburbs of Philly, it is a MUST that you have very good control of your car, especially while you are taking the pavement at a more than legal speed. The white-tailed deer population here has exploded in recent years, and there have been multiple severe accidents involving white-tailed deer and cars. If I see a deer in the middle of the road, I'm definitely gonna try not to hit it. If I did hit it, then my car would be fucked up and most likely me as well.
But besides deer, I usually try to avoid running over raccoons or foxes or squirrels. Yeah, I'm a nice guy
On the other hand, I'm not gonna attempt to swirve for a squirrel or raccoon while I'm doing at least +25 mph from the legal speed limit

yea the pepboys thing was a joke lol. merchants should be ok along with mr. tire........anywere you cant buy led washer nozzles. and yea that road rocks lol. the best is the first mile when you turn off of the (HCC) road and on to thomas run............perfect, twisty, hilly, the best!
Deer population here is awful....i see at least 20 deer in a 2.5 mile stretch of road from town to my house.....have to drive 35-40 to avoid them..and its usually foggy...I've been lucky so far..
