Haven't fully checked the car over yet, but at this point it looks like that's the only thing that broke. It looks pretty silly sitting on the trailer with -15 degrees of camber on the front right. I was actually pretty lucky to keep it off the wall given that I had very little steering with a floppy front wheel on that side. Got my first ride on the flatbed
Didn't video that session unfortunately, turned the camera on but forgot to click record.
Here's what broke (actual pictures tomorrow)

Thats called a fire-truck hit (what starts in "F" and ends in "uck" ... Fire-truck of course).
Don;t think you hit a hole - more like a canyon ... great to hear your kept it off the concrete though ...
