That sucks. Everybody OK I assume?

Are you going to do the repairs yourself? Looks like a good time for some aftermarket wheels.

Yep, my dad is doing all the work for me, should be running again by this week, I found the part for $35 on www.car-part.com, then i need an alignment.

Everyone was ok, luckily we missed the on coming truck, that would have been a sad sad day

Yeah, my lesson is learned here, I have sprint springs/KYB AGX, Factory Toyo tires which have close to 1% tread remaining. New rims and tires are coming soon.

Sorry to hear about the accident - and glad you're ok . . but if you drive on tires like that in the rain, you MUST go extremely slow. Once you get some new tires it should feel like a whole new car, riding on bald tires suck.

The underside is just dirty because the car momentarily drove through some wet grass/mud.

Yikes, and I thought 40mph was scary!
