Default Help quick!

So I wrecked my Z tonight. Not bad, dont have pictures, but pretty much the suspension is trashed. I skipped a curb when I hit a slick spot on the road.

Anyway, anyone have a good shop they can recommend to me in the Manassas area? I have a 250 dollar deductable, and the insurance (progressive) company is going to call me tomorrow at 10 am.

A quick overview of the damage, the rear wheel is facing the ground (looks like it popped out at the joint, but might need a whole rear axle), the front drivers side front end sits lower than the passanger (which is odd since I hit the curb on the passangerside).

I want to use this as my chance for after market wheels/suspension. So I need some help here. Give some advice. Thanks!

Well I got the shop info taken care of. So far I am very impressed with Progressive.

Anyone have the name/number of a traffic lawyer they want to recommend? I need to get this reckless knocked down a bit. Thanks!

OH NO! Man .. that sucks! I'd have the dealer look it over to make sure ALL of the damadge is accounted for, then once you know what all is wrong, you can settle with your insurance company, buy parts, then buy the *fun* parts, and get her all fixed up. You may have to come out of pocket a bit... but it will be worth it.

Glad your OK.

Sucks that you got a ticket too.. insult to injury.

My advice is, get rid of it! From the way you described it, you could have some frame damage. It may be fixable, but it'll never drive the same way again. My $0.02
