    I got in an accident :(

    Anyways, I was at fault. Hit the brakes while going to around 70mph in a tunnel and the car pulled to the right and the wheel hit the wall. That ricoceted me into another car and then they hit the wall. Meanwhile my car spun a 540 and somewhere in the spinning hit the wall again. Damage wasn't major to my car. However she was in a neon so I'm sure her car is probably totalled. My damage was: The front end and left fender sustained all the body damage and two of my wheels were beaten to shit. Also something in the suspension either got damaged or misaligned. Question is, I have 20in wheels. How do body shops deal with replacing aftermarket parts.

    that sucks, at least everyone is ok

    body shop will do whatever you say - question is how will your insurance deal with it. if you have your receipt for the wheels purchase that will probably help.

    Shame on you: You put the other driver at risk, especially in a "less" safe neon.

    Next time pay more attention and do not speed. Furthermore, take car of your car, when hitting the brakes, the car should remain true and straight....

    Hopefully you will learn

    I don't have any yet. But I doub't its a total loss. The way the wall is shaped made my wheels hit first so the side of the car didn't sustain impact. It was only when I hit her that the body was damaged and then when I hit the wall while spinning the front end got damaged. I am very lucky that everyone was fine and she was so nice about it. Initially she thought it was her fault, but I am honest so I told her what happened.

    True statement. But these are the most valuble lessons, and a way to live and learn. Mistakes happen... My brakes are in fine condition, however, but i believe the abs must have malfunctioned causing me veer right.
