    I have a 2006 Grand Prix Sedan. Well the other day I was driving to school going around an entrance ramp curve in the rain and went into a slide, i tried to regain control but hit the curb. Well the car rammed into the curb and i heard a crunch. i got out and was pleased to see no body damage but after closer inspection i noticed that the corner of the engine cradle was bent and cracked and my lower control arm was bent which caused the wheel to get jammed up into the corner of the wheel well. my rim also hit and needs to be replaced. the control arm and rim are no big deal just a matter of replacing them. But im a bit worried about my cradle. i think it might be ok and repairable because it is on the corner and seems not to affect the structural integrity of the frame. my 98 grand prix has a steel frame which i think would have faired better in the incident but the newer grand prixs are aluminum. so i have some pictures here and just wanted to get an opinion as to whether the frame is repairable. thanks alot you have no idea how much i appreciate anyones help.
