rim is totaled and cracked. The tire shop won't even thing of putting another tire on it. They said just order another rim. My frame got hit from underneath too so the hood is sitting funny. its got kinda a JDM hood tilt going on.

lol well the one rim was 99 so its cheap enough to buy another but still, not having a job and being a student. It sucks having to pour more money into repairs

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

I was joking too! (playing along)

fender damage isn't any worse than it has been since for over a year. I don't know y but if anything bad happens to my car its always on the right side. My left side is perfect. Other than me having to turn the wheel to the left to drive straight with the donut on. The frame might be bent cuz the grill emblem isn't sitting flush on the frame like it should and the hood is kinda raised a 1/16th of an inch. Also the plastic skirt underneath got ripped out of its fasteners. But right now i dont' care about body damage I just want my tire on! My rim came in today and my tire should be here by tomorrow. So i can get prepared for this weekend's autox at my school.
