NG900 has weak suspension..damage update...

After the snow storm in DC, I slid into a curb a few nights ago at a very very low speed (~5mph) see post below... I thought it was going to be pretty minor since I was able to drive away and the car only drifted a little to the left. Well, my worst nightmare has come true...I'll need a new subframe!! My mechanic said that the control arm is definitely bent, the tire rod end is slightly bent, and the where the control arm attaches to the subframe, there are some minor metal tearing...which means I'll probably need a new subframe. Total damage : $2000.00!!! To say the least, I was floored!! My garage (Scandinavian Import Service Center in Rockville, MD) says that the NG900 front end is very soft!!! :(
