hit a curb coming into work, can i drive home on this or is it over for me

Edit: thanks for the quick replies, i know very little about cars so i was freaking out until yall said it was the hub cap 😭😭 feel free to make fun of me lol

2nd edit: i have never before asked a question so stupid that people think its ragebait...you learn something new every day

LAST EDIT BEFORE IM MUTING: ive only started driving regularly in the past year or so and ive been learning about my car as things break....today a thing broke and now i know about it 🤷 thanks for the help and im glad yall can laugh about it. would appreciate less name calling tho lol

I see a lot of "should I get a Miata?" posts here and I wanted to give some real ownership perspective. I've had my ND2 MX-5 for a year now as my daily driver. Here's what actually makes this car worth it beyond what reviews tell you.

• The driving feel is unmatched at this price. Steering has zero delay. Combined with 1,060 kg, every corner feels like a go-kart.
• It revs like it's having fun. 184 hp means you can rev to the limit without breaking the law.
• The manual is the best I've ever used. Short throws, light clutch. Even in city traffic all day.
• It doesn't break. Salvage title, shipped across the ocean, 10,000 km of hard driving. Only oil changes.
• It fits anywhere. I park in spots that SUV drivers stare at and drive past.
• People love it. Kids think it's a Lamborghini. Other MX-5 owners wave. Gets more attention than cars 5x the price.

What sealed the deal for you on your car? I made a full video going through all 10 things https://youtu.be/Fggm5isDSUc

every time i look at the European car market they look happier over there.

RAAAAAAHHHH
