aaaaggghhh. I know the feeling. Everytime something bad happens to the car, it's always because of one split second of poor judgment or some small insignificant detail that causes some really crappy consequences. Time (and money) heals all wounds.

I forgot to mention the 1 funny thing about all of this... took 4 tow guys to get the haha (thankfully I have AAA)
So first guy comes out with a truck... tries his typical methods... and scratches his head a bit "naw man - this is too low - you need the flat bed"
so we wait - flat bed guy comes out - and brings another guy with him who has another tow truck... they look at it and are like shit man... this is low - but we have some methods... or so they thought
1) couldn't get it on the flat bed with dollies, since the dollies were wider than the flatbed
2) couldn't dollie the rear end - the exhaust hangs too low
3) couldn't drag the car onto the flat bed - since the wheel would rip off the fender...
so yeah those 2 guys had to call up the owner of the tow company... he came out in his truck - looked at it for like 15 seconds, and was like "here is what we do"... so we jacked it up, hooked the front onto the tow truck, then dollied the rear once it was raised... the tow guy was like "car looks nice man - but you damn lowered cars never think of what you have to do when the tow guys come "

Damn man, sorry to hear, i had the same thing happen to me but i never posted it on here, i was to embarassed, but i went around a corner to fast i think i may have hit some black ice or something because it was 25 degrees out that morning, and whamo the back end came out couldnt correct it and smacked a curb that was like 5 inches tall, i thought my car would get stuck on it but it didnt.......... only damage was one fucked up BBS wheel and nothing else so i lucked out. Good luck on repairs man, and i know exactly how you feel.
