This is embarrassing, but what should I do about this? I got distracted for like half a second because I thought I saw something on my mirrors, which caused me to veer a little bit onto the curb of the road. The car jumped a little (I don’t think I mounted the curb just hit it or grazed it). I was going roughly 60km/h.

Instantly embarrassed, I went to park to look at the the car and didn’t notice any damage (didn’t hear anything off too). It’s an old 1998 Corolla II, so it’s light and small as fuck. Should I go to the mechanic anyway? I assume something misaligned even if I can’t tell.

I don’t really have money for it until the end of the week though (no credit card either), and probably can’t book anything till next week. Will it be fine until then?

    This is about what I was gonna post, but much better. The only thing I would add is to check the rim and tire that hit the curb. See if the tire is holding pressure. I’ve hit a curb in a rented Corolla (much newer) at similar speeds with no issues, so this might just serve as a good reminder to stay alert.
