Default Pics of wreck: *Insurance Update*

Here are a few pics of my GS4 after the wreck, I have it parked at a friends right now as I am out of town a lot and didn't have space in the garage.. imo they don't appear near as bad as it is in person.. the door is appears to be caved in way further when looking at it in person than on the pics

Ya, I am fine.. roads were wet and I was going through some heavy turns and lost traction and it ended with my car meeting a tree.. My drivers side window didn't break because it was down, I had my head right there hanging half way out the window and watched my car slam into the tree...

I haven't cleaned them and inspected it closely but I believe there is no new damage to them.. however I did have a small bend on the front left wheel(you can only see it from certain angles) but I am not sure where it came from, I believe it is repairable.. and there is a couple scratches on the lips from someone cleaning them improperly when I told them not to touch my wheels..

Just FYI, pic P1010157.jpg is of the sunroof.. so it looks like it bent the frame of my car pretty decent to bring it up like that..

umm.. I am not for sure but I am guessing it won't come out of this with a clean title but I could be wrong.. I stil don't know at this point if they are going to consider it totalled or not.. I think they will though, in person it looks much worse imo.. If that is the case I don't know if my insurance company will sell it back to me or not.. it actually drives right now but the wheel has to sit about 90 degrees to the right just to go straight, lol..

Dang!! That's pretty bad damage....structural for sure. Hope its repairable. Yah...Glad to hear you and the Zaubers are OK!!

Oh...I see you were running the Nitto NT555 tires....lots of ppl say they kinda suck on wet roads. I guess you can vouch for that. Btw...How fast were you going? Just wondering.

Btw....what kind of tires were you running? Are your tires bald? Was it hydroplaning that caused you to loose control? How fast were you going? Just wondering.

Pete
Nitto 555 and they are not bald, no hydroplaning.. I don't recall my exact speed but I would say it is possible that I was going a tad bit over the speed limit.. and you should see the twists and turns we have out here.. they are just as good and probably better than the ones I have seen in any video.. This area got #3(last time I recall) in the USA for places to ride bikes.. I kind of hope it is not repairable, I think I would prefer to get a car that hasn't been in a wreck but if it is I won't complain..
