yea, my rim is trashed! But i can say one thing, WELDS are made pretty good IMO. They folded instead of cracking apart, AKA good aluminum and not some junk cast BS.

I've been in that position a few times and I have turned the key all the way back. I know not to in an emergency situation like this. But it happens to the best of us. I'm glad your covered and getting it fixed. And I'm glad your OK. Cars are not **** compared to your life.

Glad your ok. Its just another reason I only put about 1,000 miles a year on my car. To many stupid drivers and to many that run.

This year it will be even less miles I am sure. More like 500 if I am lucky LOL!

yea, well the flat bad came and picked it up tonight. And i was talking to my insurance guy and he said that there prob. gonna total it. KBB on it is $4200 (junk condition) to $5200 (minty). So that only gives me about $3000 to fix it before they total it. Crazy thing is if it does get totaled, it be the only car iv seen get totaled with no cracked body panals on it, lol. Not even my taillight covers were cracked, lol. Ill find out in a few days whats gonna happen.

well its at the shop now getting fixed. Should have it bck this week i hope! They replaced the bumper cover and the filler panal and pulling out everything else. I had top supply the stearing knuckle and a few other odds n ends. Ordered a new prostar and upgraded the front tires from Kumho street tires to reg. skinnies. Not too many more street days for me anymore, lol. Ordered a cam for it so when i get her back OUT comes the motor. Cant wreck it again with no motor, lol.
