Well the damage report is back and it's as I suspected. I really did slam into that curb hard.

The control arm took some damage (bent). They are replacing the trailing arm assembly and the track rod. $701, ugg. With an alignment the total so far for the wheel damage is $840. They had to send out the wheel and I won't know if they can repair it until tomorrow. Does anyone know what a replacement 17in Turbo wheel would cost if they can't repair it?

Note to self: Ignoring curbs in the large SUVs I've been driving for a decade is ok. Ignoring them in a Porsche... NOT ok.
