Well I was thinking the same, but I remembered how much a vehicle depreciates after an accident.. I mean, its different for every car, and hard to estimate but if you get into a crash and repair it, then try to sell it chances are you will have at least 25% depreciation in its value (??) Not too sure on that figure, just going from what ive seen with friends cars. And it depends who you sell to, dealership trade in/sale or private.

Dang bro I'm just happy that you and your family are safe!! That is a huge blessing. Fortunately cars can be replaced, and a 2011 GT is a great upgrade to make some new memories in!!
BTW just like PD said, it is not uncommon for that type of wheel failure...especially in Rotas. With wheels you get what you pay for

You probably should talk to a lawyer to see if you have any options for the wheel failure.

That's terrible! I think we all had a lot of respect for you and what you could do with your srt4. You just wont be the same if you aren't behind the wheel of the neon to us 
It's a good excuse to get a 2011 5.0 though. I'm sure you'll be having a lot of fun with it too.. and appreciate some of the things it has over the old beast.

I haven’t posted here for a MINUTE and I decided to log in today and the first thread I saw was R.I.P Blue. Just from the thread title I knew it was you. Sorry for your loss, but as you already know a car could be replaced so thank god nobody was hurt. Glad to see your still here.
