and billy i don't think it will be totaled bc your car only has 53,000 miles on it, if it didn't bend the unibody then i think you'll be fine plus the airbags didn't go off so thats another plus

Generally speaking. When a tire blows out, let off the accelarater and you can coast to the side of the road. Don't use the breaks. So I'm kinda agreeing with you here.

That cars totaled. I hate to see these cars like this.

But I'm glad to hear your okay. That looks bad.

i was aceelerating and getting over i think it blew while doing that. It jerked hard to the left. was nothing i could do but go along with the ride. I think the unibody is tweaked my left side of my duals hitting the ground. The rear tire was complety of the rim and the rim destroyed. And no david i am not incriminating myself.

Glad you are OK.....your car is not, I agree with others it is totaled. Buy it back from the insurance company and get all your mods back.

If i had a shop and the know how a lsx swap to something else would be nice

I owe about 6000 on the car so i dont know if i will have enough to buy it back. But if i do havent decided if i am going to keep the parts for a new ride or part out. are people coming out pretty good on part outs. The ss spoiler will sell deffintly and the inside of the car is perfect. Yeah the hood flew up and hit the window there is a indenteion where the ram air hit.

Well, I need an black interior for a car thats getting redone. Thats a start for parting it out, shipping wouldn't be an issue either. The car is in tulsa right now for paint so I could get someone to pick the parts up. I'd suggest making a list of stuff you know will be saleable and see if there would be any takers on here for the parts. It sucks about the car but like everyone said, the important thing is that your alright. Have you been wanting anything else like a vette?
