curbing damages?
so as many of you know a snow storm struck the south today and tonight me and a buddy of mine were out in our tacomas and went to a huge parking lot where we started doing donuts. The back corner in particular was nothing but ice and my friend started doing 4 wheel drive donuts, but when i was doing regular donuts i could not stop and slammed into the curb pretty hard, they said that they heard something pop and that my passenger side came off the ground, my driver side hit the curb parallel. i then tried to stay away from the curb trying not to let it ruin my night, and ended up hitting it again but not as hard, this happened 3 times to me and 1 time to my buddy. what if anything could i have broken?

This sucks... you flat landers have snow and we have nothing up in the mtns!! You hit the same curb THREE times? Did you slide into it sideways? I don't completely understand... Is there any wobble or vibrations?

well first of all you should not have kept doing illegal and dangerous activites even aster the first mishap.... anywyas....
there are a lot of things that can be wrong, you could have easily damage any part of the suspension, tweaked the frame or do any type of serious damage, or nothing at all..... hows the driveability issue? is the steering whel upside down? same as it was before the idiocy? or does the vehicle have a pull? vibrations? clunking?

Just go get your alignment checked out that should tell you if something is tweaked. Sliding into a curb on ice shouldn't be that big of a deal unless you were going fast enough that the tire couldn't soak up the impact.
It sounds like you need the practice if you can't keep from hitting the same curb 3 times.

take it for an alignment, that "pop" could have been a lot of things, and to lift the opposite wheel off the ground took a decent impact, next time try doing reverse donuts, they are more entertaining and because you front tire is turned your more likely to run over stuff vs. slam into it
