And I'm in wholehearted agreement. And if I was giving the impression that nothing in the accident was my fault, that's not what I meant to do. Of course there were some things that were my fault. Some would say that I shouldn't have even BEEN on the road that day, because it was snowing. And so on and so forth. All I'm saying is that there's no point in sitting here, snapping at each other about something that cannot be changed. It's done, the end, and all I can do now is move forward. And that's what I'm trying to do here in this thread, too.

i'm not trying to be rude or anything RUSH, but in all due respect to what you're going through, a thread is a thread, and a lot of people are interested in this story and how it plays out. people commenting on the accident and the post is appropriate whether you like or don't like what's being said. that's what we all go through when we post. waiving the moderator flag and threatening to shut down a thread, that you didn't even start, is a little inappropriate. almost "do as i say and not as i do."
Thanks Forcefed what about the Freedom of Speech Thing LOL

When did I say I was going to shut the thread down? And I have no problem with anything, when it is stated in a respectful manner and not in a brash, inconsiderate one.
That's what I'm still waiting to hear on. I should be finding out the figures tomorrow .. though I'll be running around so much with classes that I hope I'll be able to get to my phone when the insurance company calls. AND right after my classes tomorrow (which finish at 8pm), I'm driving back to Philly to go to the salvage yard first thing Tuesday morning -- to pull the rest of my personal stuff outta the MSP, and probably the audio equipment too. I've heard too many horror stories about salvage yard cars being broken into!
Thats the best thing I read in this thread it went from the wreck to what car she should get (off topic) to trying to help others avoid same thing happening to others (on topic) to her wanting to shut it down Hysterical
I did have on my snow tires. I bought new wheels this past fall, rather than the steelies, so that the car wouldn't look so ugly in the wintertime.
They really are a HUGE eyesore, LOL. For some reason when I took 'em off my MSP last winter, I'd just finally gotten fed up with 'em and decided to pick up a nicer set for the snowy months.
I picked up a set of Maxxim Ahead in graphite -- got 'em for only $82 per wheel!
I'm hoping to pull my winter wheel/tire setup off my MSP and put my summer shoes back on while the car is still in the salvage yard .. JUST in case I don't buy the car back, my winter setup is worth more than my summer setup, pathetically enough.
Pretty much! The rubber isn't bald, but it's on the lower end and I was planning on buying a whole new set of tires in the springtime. And the wheels themselves aren't anything phenomenal -- Motegi brand, and they've seen their share of scuffs and scratches over the last four seasons I've had 'em on the car.
The winter setup, though .. The wheels have only been out of the box for two months, and two of the four tires are only two months old, too! But that's not the only reason I want 'em off my MSP .. One of my parents' cars is in sore need of some new tires, and that car has the same bolt pattern as my MSP. So I figure the least I can do to try to pay my parents' back for all they've done for me, is to give them that wheel/tire setup (if the offset/bore/etc fit).

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but why do you use the new rims with the snow tires if your old ones are in worse shape? Different size I'm guessing? Because won't the salt and crap they put all over the roads eat the coating off the new ones?

I think because she got tired of the ugly steelies...and for $82.00 a pop, they're not that expensive to replace if they get messed up from the salt.
