Im sorry to hear about your troubles. Its better than being dead. I have an old car with drum brakes in the back and discs in the front which I upgraded, and someone did a Uturn infront of me, so I swerved into the left lane, and they did the same, I slammed on the brakes, and I spun around about three times on dry pavement ending up 180 degrees backwards going with the other side of the road, and facing a car in the center turn lane...Geez that was scary. i called my brother, and talked to him and he said are you still in the center turn lane, I said yea, he said why dont you drive to a parking lot and call me back. I was all shook up.

At least you can fix bolt on parts such as rims and things.

Hope all is well,

Austin
