CL carnage
So last night I'm driving home and my back passenger side tire blows out on a curve and I slide off the road into a bunch of rocks, cut up tree stumps/debris, etc. Looks like i will have to have the hood, front bumper, and whole passenger side repainted, missing front turn signal, need new passenger side headlight, new front fender, 1 tire and rim completely destroyed, 1 tire sliced on the sidewall, rear suspension messed up, heat shield under the car bent, Tanabe exhaust tip, canister, and piping all mangled, and thats most of it. None of the body panels line up on the passenger side at all. The pictures show the majority of the damage.

damn, please don't tell me you were driving around on your donut on the freeway.
if you were you deserved it. otherwise, I'm sorry to hear. my tires are getting low on tread and I'm scared to shit of them blowing out, I just can't afford new tires yet, so I'm driving cautiously.

the intercooler is fine and i think the front bumper just needs paint. no i wasnt driving on the doughnut tire on the freeway, that was just a temporary thing to be able to move the car. was going 40-45 at the time. looks like the tire had been rubbing on something but am not entirely sure what the cause was.

Well they're giving me just under 6 grand for it and I keep the car to part out. I have to go back to school on Thursday so I don't know how much stuff I can pull before then, but if anyones interested in anything the only aftermarket part that got ruined is the muffler.
