Default My Tires Just Blew .....And my xB is boo-boo'd :(

Hey everyone, well i just got home from a very scary experience I was driving along to go pick up my friend from a party, was to trashed for him to drive home so i was gonna pick him up and take him home, and so anyway i was going along on a back road to get to the house, and i was behind this truck that seemed to me was a "Drunken" truck, due to the fact it was swirving all over the road.. so than anyway i slowed down so it can get a little farther from me.. so than i start to go again, and as im getting closer i notice TONS of boxes of budweiser bottles, maybe about 7 boxes or so.. and this is a backroad like gravel and ____, so who knows if there was nails so i was going and all of a sudden i hear a big [b]BOOOM ..so i was like WHAT THE HELL, and all of a sudden i lose control.. and go into a little ditch.. 7 of my lug nuts cracked completely off.. so i have to buy brand new ones (The whole rotor or whatever its called) for the 2 back.. and i have to get my front bumper repaired.. it was damaged in the little accident luckily im okay.. just a little knee "bustage" due to my knew hitting the center console.. but other than that im okay, but the xbs not im hoping the insurance will fix it before the "Spring Quake" so i can still come and hang out But all i am thinking of now, is thank god it wasn't a cliff where i was or i would of been doomed

Dude, that sucks. Get the vehicle to the body shope ASAP, unless you have a custom kit they should have it out in plenty of time for Spring Quake. Just glad you are OK.

The important thing is that no one was hurt. The car can be fixed. People can't.

Thanks everyone, well I just got back from a LONG ___ DAY with the insurance people and my boo boo'd xB.. and they can fix it, but their not paying for it >;[ . . . . Luckily the only thing that was wrong was broken NUTS.. like the bolts were only cracked so we found all 8 of them (Just changed all of them) and changed them today OURSELVES!! so the 2 back tires r FIXED!! only thing is front bumper.. its an EVO-5 and i went to a body shop today, and it can be done for $397.62... its just the middle part and the mesh grill so i have to pay for it, i cant be rolling with a broken bumper but thanks everyone..
