Unhappy Car vs. Tire (NEW PICS!!!)

About 2 weeks ago i hit a blowout tire from a big rig. It was just in the middle of the interstate and it was dark so by the time i seen it there was nothing i could have done because there was another rig beside me in the other lane. So i hit it and pulled off of the road and checked out the damage and this is what it did: ripped my lip off, tore my bumper all up, threw my grill somewhere, smashed my ac condensior in, bent in my radiator, ripped out my left inner fender, it even flew up behind my car and dented and cracked the paint on my trunk. So yeah here are some pics of the front.










But the insurance est it over 2 grand, so its in the shop right now getting fixed!

Search for the answer on what it means... Just search for the word "Shocker".

Looks great bro! The headlights look 100x’s better now. The only thing now is those windshield wipers got to go back to OEM! But that is just my opinion.
