Oh man that sucks. How fast were you going? What's the extent of damage to your car? If possible post some pics.
Given the fact you were able to type out this thread, I take it you walked away unharmed. Again, sorry to hear about this unfortunate event.

I was probably going about 30 at the time. Nobody was hurt and after i replaced the bent rim with my spare it drove fine. Not to much was damaged,
Drivers side rim=about 3 inch section bent on the inside
both front shocks=screwed
valance and one fog got banged up pretty bad
bumper got bent a little
drivers fender got messed up where the rim hit it, the little inside lip is now an outside lip but it looks fixable.
the passenger fender got a big dent from the fence i took out.Comment

Maybe, I got a friend with a digi cam. I'll see if he can take some pictures.Comment

It had also just rained, not like that matters or anything...Comment

If you fucked the front shocks you probably fucked something else in the suspension. Go over it w/a fine toothed comb... I wouldn't be surprised to find bent and broken pieces.

I didn't notice any kind of vibration shaking or anything driving it home. Of course I never got over 35. The one thing is my alignment now pulls left instead of right like it used to.Comment
