Stupidity did it. I went too fast for cold tires.
Bouncing off of curbs didn't help, but with more heat in the tires it would have worked.

I didn't post this thread looking for sympathy, or because I'm proud of what I did.

I'm horrible at asking for help. I cannot stand feeling like I am imposing upon other people. I like to take care of things myself as much as possible.

But, in this case, I think I may wind up needing help. I'm not entirely sure what that will entail right now. But, if anyone has spare parts laying around I can have / get cheap... I'll probably be looking.

The first step is going to be making it drivable again. Not at speed, just under its own power. Then, I need to find out if anything frame-like is bent. At some point, a new bumper will be needed, possibly some other body parts for the car.

And I still haven't found an enclosed location to store the car at in the meantime.
