****'ed up my car today, here take a look

ok, so i was on my way home after eating wings with the guys at baileys down in crystall city when i come to an intersection. this is one of those unnecessarily large intersections, it doesnt even have paint on the ground to keep you in the correct lane. so im sitting at the light just litening to my engine purr away with those beautiful new kelford 272's i had put in on friday. then the light turns green, and im not one to pull through every intersection sideways at redline mind you. im on the inside lane and im about even with the guy next to me, if not a little behind him. he mis-judges what lane he is supposed to go into and forces me to slam on my brakes, my car doesnt stop in time, and my rear drivers side wheel hits the concrete median in the road completely destroying my rim/tire, while also managing to put a hole in my rear bumper...

good thing i keep money in the bank just for **** like this, i literally just ordered a new rim and tire. looks like i have a reason to buy a JDM read now. i'll prolly do that with my tax refund (i know... i just filed my taxes) btw whos got a good deal for EB JDM rear now?

here are the pics:
















and heres one of my engine bay just to lighten the mood:

How do you like the Kelfords? Did you keep the stock valve springs?

OK, thanks

Sorry to hear about the car. Are you getting insurance involved? Maybe you can get the other driver to pay for your wheel/bumper?

looks like im going to have to either modify my buschur exhaust for the JDM rear, or just buy a new muffler... i think im just going to modify my existing one.
