I once slid on some ice and went over an eight inch curb. I was going at about 15 mph I almost avoided it, I had the wheel completely turned and the handbrake on but one wheel still hit the curb (right front). The car was stuck needing a tow truck to lift the car. I took it right to the dealer for an alignment and they said the car was still straight and there was no damage.
I hit that curb so hard I thought the bumper was cracked into three parts and the fenders had fallen off. No damage but a little scrape on the wheel rim.

The Boxster is infamous for having an abrupt moment of polar inertia. One minute your on the limit feeling fine through a turn, tires screeching and the next thing
the car has completely broken loose and you are not getting it back straight.
Both feet (clutch and brake) in !
