Well monday night (april 16th) and into tuesday morning i was out and about at a friends house.
I left his house around 1am and was going to head home, pouring rain, went to merge onto the highway through this loop around to the merging lane, and i hit a pot hole car bounced, started to understeer and i jumped up over a curb, slid across a median and dropped off the other side before comming to a rest. I had all season tires and probably 75% tread, and still happend. Shitty suspension.
I wasnt pushing my car, wasnt driving too fast for the conditions, just doing about 20-25 into this big loop around corner, and the car just decided it didnt wanna turn with it. Once it started to understeer i let off the gas hoping it would pull out of it, but it kept sliding to i paniced and hit the brakes.
Heres the results.

Post Curb hop ride height:
Spent 3 hours on the side of the road in the pouring rain trying to get everything straightened out, finally get it going, set the car back down on the ground... find out my half shaft is broke, drivers CV is broke, limped the car home 20ish miles at 10mph... 2 hour drive, usually a 20 minute drive.
Heres recent pics of where the car currently sits:
