Default Just hopped an island =(

I need some advice guys, and real fast. I just got my S2000 and I was drivin it tonight took a turn and lost it. My car went slightly over a center island which is about 4-5 inches high. I was able to put her in reverse and drive away, no cosmetic damage on the body, and I checked the undercarriage for damage, but didnt see any. However, the car felt a bit squirley to me when i would hit bumps, kinda like the body would sway a bit and the steering felt flighty for a good 5 minutes. My question is, what kind of damage could I have done? Maybe its just my head playin tricks on me, especially after I could have totalled my baby tonight? I did notice that my right front wheel has a dent on it. i know I'm an ass dor driving so reckless, but please help a newbie.

Most likely you probably knocked your car out of alignment (best case scenario) Worst case would be you twisting your K-Member or other suspension parts.

Good luck.

Dude, that sucks. Just to be safe, take it to the shop and have it checked out.
