OUCH! I've been in a similar situation, where i was going over the peak of a hill, turning to the right at the same time. I found out that there was some loose gravel on top of that hill, due to some construction on the left side. My car started to slide to the left, but i was able to keep it under control, and avoid hitting a car that was coming the other way. BTW, no speeding/racing was involved. I just thank all the racing video games I play for learning how to control my car when that happens! (85% completed on Gran Turismo 3!!!)

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

The vibration was the rims... I need to go get them checked to see if they're still straight.
The exhaust isn't hitting anything, but it needs to be completely replaced.
According to the body shop:
Both Bumpers
The Lower Radiator Bracket
AC Condenser
The trunk floor is smashed
The Washer Fluid Pump
The Rocker Panel and the bottom of the door
All the front splash guarding
$2600

I'm going to deal with the exhaust and rims myself (add at least $500)

I'm trying to get a Tanabe Hyper Medallion on my doorstep by friday.

I don't like buying used... but if you want to give me a review, I'll take the knowledge. Does it sit high? Sound deep and smooth or weedwhacker? Stuff like that.

thats not that much damage probably all the exaust piping is messed up and the car could've gone out of alingment i dont think is worth getting rid of it because of that the whole damage will be about 4 to 5 k maximun and if u have good insurance it wont be a problem since no engine or frame damage happened

Hey thats funny boilermaker, I hate buying used stuff also. I have the super racing medallion. Do you have a downpipe or just the factory one? The srm doesnt sound raspy, it got a little raspy in the top end once I put the megan racing downpipe on! I know the one im talking about is not the hyper medallion. I figure they probably sound close to the same though.
