well i talked to the guy at the body shop today and he said that, although it's warped, it isn't warped much and there's a chance that once he replaces the axle i won't be able to tell a difference driving. of course that would just be to hold me till i could afford a nice new set instead of buying the cheapest thing i can find. if i am able to run the warped wheel till my next tire change, i should be able to get me a set of Black Foose Nitrous rims with Nitto NT555's so i'm really hoping i'll be able to do that...

oh also... the insurance agency said that they'd give me $250 since they couldn't find the replacement and i could keep the rim to drive on. basically it'll just make my deductible $1K instead of $1250. i went by the shop today and saw my car... i wanted to cry... they had the interior stripped down to the metal, every body panel from the A-pillar back was gone, and the section fro the back of the door to the roof to the tailight and inward about an inch past the wheel well just... wasn't there!

here's a pic i took on my phone. the guy told me i didn't want to see at least 3 times but i insisted... bad choice on my part...



believe it or not, that's the back/left 3/4 view of my car...
