Default i hit a curb today

on my way to school.


this lady was in the lane beside me and kept moving over and getting me closer to the curb but long story short i hit the curb and blew my tire and bent my wheel (steelie) up really bad.

i got it repaired at a tire shop but i think they might of over charged me???


idk much about tires and wheels pricing.



but my ? was is $35 to much to get a POS tire with like 25% tread left and stick it back on the bent wheel? and put it on my car?

if not its cool it does not matter but i thought that might be a little to much.



thanks for the help,


Ben

how much tire is left dosn't make it less hard for them to fix. I'd say 35bones isnt unfair at all

that wasn't the question.



Yeah, I'd say 35 bucks is extremely fair.


Now go get yourself a complete replacement set of wheels and tires.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

why didn't you just hit the brakes instead of the curb?

Or lay on the horn, hit the gas and pass, or defend your right-of-way like a man, by playing bumper cars.

I would of hit her car before the curb. You'd both have to pull over and any damage can now be billed to her insurance. Also hearing metal on metal might make the bitch try alittle harder to stay in her lane next time.
