wow eh....im surprised she drove it all the way from burnaby to east side without a problem...called the shops and they towed it in for repair...

how much u guys think this would cost?

AVS_Racing 12-14-2009 03:17 PM

not cheap at least a G, looks like the arms are bent + rims cracked?

GabAlmighty 12-14-2009 03:17 PM

It's an audi. She might as well buy a new one right now. Or like 15 volvos

El Bastardo 12-14-2009 03:29 PM

Ouch. At least shes ok tho.

shenmecar 12-14-2009 03:30 PM

she must have hit it really hard.

LenovoTurbo 12-14-2009 03:36 PM

Positive camber and negative caster. Must be pulling extremely to the right when your friends mom was driving. Something else is bent as well as CA's. $1k-$2k maybe.

1exotic 12-14-2009 03:36 PM

your moms friend is a noob

hirevtuner 12-14-2009 03:36 PM

AWD car + poor driving skills is this result

ilvtofu 12-14-2009 03:48 PM

sucker, winter tires would probably cost less than that one wheel.

You're wrong, you can never convince middle aged asian woman that their AWD with summer tires is inferior than RWD with winter tires.

Explaining the purpose of winter tires to them is like trying to explain the concept of the chaos theory to a preschooler. It's all just going to go wrong.

ilvtofu 12-14-2009 05:15 PM

^LOLOL friction from an extra diffs is enough to stop my car in the snow!

Although to get going in the snow based on my own experience I say the awd car > RWD with snow tires (open diff :P) but to stop and corner (where it counts) snow tires make a huge difference

+1 couple g's at LEAST

saiko 12-14-2009 05:36 PM

drive carefully everyone!

Sometimes you never know, when your brakes lock up (abs & panic - holding it) and a slight patch of ice..

I'm going to try and avoid as much driving as I can, I don't need the stress of a repair bill or meetings with icbc at this time of the year.

!Tigger 12-14-2009 05:38 PM

Rim =100 - 1000( audi oem or aftermarket.)
alignment = 80 - 100
Lower arm = 100 - 300
mount and balance wheel = 20ish
shop charge = 30ish

then shop wage on top of that

skyxx 12-14-2009 05:40 PM

Icbc even told people to not drive that much this winter.

Euro7r 12-14-2009 05:49 PM

Cost should never be a factor, since it's minor expenses if your mom's friend rolls in an Audi, ahhaha.

Harvey Specter 12-14-2009 05:51 PM

Ouch, that's going to cost major $$$ if she towed her car to Audi. I would imagine a few g's at least.
