My cars current status... :(

I know its been a while since i have really posted anything on the forum, so I figured I should share this. I was coming off a long freeway offramp onto another freeway, somehow got 2 flats on the passenger side and spun out. Ended up on a 2 foot dirt incline and messed up my front, back, and passenger side body kits.

Anyway its currently in the body shop, should have it back monday... stupid body shop ordered the wrong side skirt so it got delayed.














I am currently driving a Chrysler Sebring rental... and today when i come out to it, it has a flat front tire... i am having some bad luck.

Man that sucks, having two flats at the same time is just straight bad luck. Hopefully you get your car back how it used to be before.

WOW, it's sad seeing a fellow SSM TL-S hurt like that. Glad you are ok, and it should look great when it gets out of the bodyshop. There must have been something in the road that you hit with both wheels? Was there roadwork being done? It's possible some re-bar was sticking out of the road. You should go back and check CAREFULLY.

Same thing happened to me on i95 going up to R.I. I hit a turn and I heard a loud pop. When I pulled over I blew out my Pass rear tire. I had to drive @least 2-3 miles on my rims to the nearest exit. Thank god a Mechanic shop was a few lights up off the exit ramp. It cost me $270.00 for a brand new tire.....Talk about pissed........

thanks for all your comments and words of encouragement. Things could have been way worse. considering i could have spun out into oncoming traffic and not just scarped my oem kit... not to mention i had two other people in the car.

oh and i will update you all when i get it back... maybe its time for some new pics.. haha

Sorry to hear. I like the way you have your front plate mounted. I need to do mine one of these days.
