    take more pictures from what you posted it looks like the front end needs to be refitted and a new tire put on, no big deal.

    EDIT:after looking closer it appears you may need a new wheel and a squirt or paint.. again, no big deal.

    The rim is bent/the edge is oober fucked... the front end is fine... the fender no longer has the metal attachment to bolt up to the front bumper (needing a new fender)....the side skirt is cracked where its "seam filled" (when replacing the fender....it would have to be re-molded/painted....).... thats still right around 500-1000+$ to repair...that I do not have at the moment... and considering the car is under liability.... yea...

    I had a blow out in the left lane.... in turn, hitting the nice "large" reflectors....

    I didnt create your situation so dont get pissed at me that you couldnt afford an extra 30-40 bucks a month or whatever it is for full coverage. It is murphys law if you have a decent car and drop it to liability it WILL get fucked up. I know of several people that have had cars and totaled them weeks after dropping full coverage just to save a few bucks... Insurance is there as a saftey net to cover against the unexpected.. I know it sucks that your car is messed up but it only seems like a wise idea to me to protect an investment as great as yours was.

    PS hope you dont have contracts to complete with those sponserships.

    wow....you are a brave person to let them pull it up the flat bed like that.....I know it's a "show" car, but wheres the original spare? I wouldve figured a way to somehow get the side up and at least put on the spare. Another question, what brand tires are you still running? how much tread is left? I'd email the manufacturer and show them and it's very possible the tire somehow failed.....hitting a reflector shouldnt have caused a tire to blow out....tires have to meet certain DOT standards, and I dont care if it's a 19 or 26in tire....35 series tires have to be able to hold up for the daily grind...

    I took the front end off before they put it on there, and they used boards to lift everything up.... the original spare is under my system enclosure.... heh.... kinda hard to get to with like 50+ screws holding in the subs. Im running Fuzion. The tread is prolly 50+% on the front, or the um RIGHT front only now.... and then like 40%+ on the rear.... I hit the reflector AFTER the tire had already blown. I was driving doing 75....cruise set, the car started to hobble-- steering wheel pulled hard to the left, i controled it...and pulled off... in turn running over it AFTER it had already blown.

    so the tire blew out and then you hit the reflector, correct?

    did you run over something beforehand that you know of? have you hit anything relatively hard with that particular wheel/tire? It's not very uncommon for 35 series to get impact bubbles, because the threads have broken....and it's always from the inside where you cant see them. Do you have the entire tire? like the sidewalls as well as the top tread? Like I said, I would throughly check that tire and make sure it wasnt somekind of defect, now if it's a slash or a nail sticking in the sidewall, well....that sucks....but I'd definately look it over....I use to deal with this stuff on a daily basis.

    Yup. I didnt run over anything.... I have the whole tire still.... the firewalls are still attached to the rim? Ill be checking everything out tomorrow, and like I said- ill be contacting my sponsors too.... IE: mainly the tire sponsor.

    Does anyone know of a rim repair shop?

    man Im sorry to hear this Lea Anne! Seems like you have all the bad luck!!

    make sure you think this decision out before you act on it. I know from experience its best to walk away and sleep on it rather than acting on your gut feelings at the time. Anyway, sorry again and hopefully everything works out well!
