my car spun out and and i ended up going up on a curb, then up a hill..... i'll be out... looks like shot suspension, and the car vibrates badly when at idle and parked or when the a/c turns on.
Did the curb and hill "jump out in front of you?" Glad you're OK.

But I like the way he put it. The car spun out. He was obviously just standing there and the car decided to spin out and hit the curb and hill.
