So, tonight I was cruising with some friends in my 2018 Honda Civic, just bought it recently, however it was used, at 70k km.
Basically I floored it coming out of a parking lot and my car hit the ground pretty hard, and it now makes a weird noise and im not sure what I messed up.

Yes, I know its my fault. Yes, I know im not very smart, but im not here to be ridiculed but instead to maybe get some insight on what i should do. I will try to attatch a video of the noise on this thread.

Basically whenever I give the car any throttle i get this big popping noise, as if something is hitting on my wheel, or something like that. Could I drive to work tomorrow? My mechanic is a 45 minute drive, is it safe to drive on the road? Should i go to a random mechanic, im afraid of getting scammed.

Yikes! If it's coming from that corner, jack up the car (safely!), pull the wheel off, and look around.

Almost sound you damaged the axel shaft, makes the noise when initiate back and the. Forward. Yeah jack up your car and inspect that axel, you may want to jack up both sides and safely reveres and and put in drive just to see if still makes the noise, could also be the calipers

I wouldn't drive it.... for safety as well as making a problem worse/causing more damage.

Take it to get inspected. I would not be driving it.

Roll the dice. An axle, a lower control arm, a swaybar link, a motor mount, all good guesses until you have someone look at it.
