That's what happens when I make a left turn on
36th and Lincoln
and I hit the middle street divider because I didn't get my turn right...
Luckily I'm "only" in for a new rim and tire, and some alignement.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I took that one quickly with the cell phone
just before going to the garage. What you see is a good size dent in the front
left rim and a serious rip in the tire.
So what happened?
I'm used to that turn, to go to the daycare, and it's usually a nice turn.
However I made the turn too sharp too much in advance and I realized I was heading towards
the divider, so I tried to correct and it looks like I was almost there since
I barely hit it with the side of the rim. Even so it was quite a shock, I
even immediately stopped on the middle of the bridge to see how much of the
front bumper & wheel was still intact -- that's how bad it felt.
And a while ago I "shaved" another divider with the left rear rim & tire:
