Got sandwiched between two 18-wheelers. Those guys are always swerving all over the place. Car is pretty much damaged from the front bumper, through both doors, to the rear bumper on both sides. Including my new Rotiforms..

Bro that sucks....badly. Really glad you're well enough at least to post, but wow.......brutal

Oh jeez. How bad is the damage? I'm glad you're OK at least, probably could have been a lot worse with two semis involved.

I would like to see more pics when you get a chance.

also pics.....

that sucks

Passenger side is bumper, wheel/tire, and fender. Driver side is the worst. Big rigs wheel just kept spinning along side the whole car. Damage goes from the front bumper all the way down to the back bumper.

Is it a write-off?

Is it a write-off?

I don't think it's that bad.. Car should be worth around $18k-21k pre-accident. I'm no auto body expert, but I would guess driver door and both fenders replaced and the rest repaired. They'll probably also want to repair the wheels too instead of replace, but I'm not sure how I feel about that considering they're basically brand new.

Doesn't look like a write off....structurally still sound and no beam bent. I think a body shop could turn that around easily and bonus...new paint....I'd pay for roof so the whole car could be painted.

Regarding the wheels.....they may just give you OEM cost .....don't think they'll repair Rotiforms......but I could be wrong.

I figured they'd want one of those "wheel repair in a van" places to repair them. Since the tires are basically brand new they'll only replace the popped one as well. Less than 1,000 miles on them so no worry about different tread depths yet.

I've used those before and they really do phenom work

The one place by me has really good reviews so I'll probably give them a shot before replacing them depending on cost.

That must’ve been gnarly staring at that truck wheel like that. Wow man.

That's exactly what went through my head.

Biggest annoyance of this whole thing is all the local body shops are 4-5 weeks out on taking new customers. "No one drove for a year and now they don't remember how" is pretty much what every shop said.
