Grr. Accident. Had nothing to do with snow, actually.

Update: Car Totaled
Well, that settles it, I guess. I'm not worried, as I have an "agreed value" policy rather than the usual market value policy.
So, anyone have any cheapo 18" wheels I can throw on there? Perhaps steelies? I have old tires I can throw on, but no wheels (they tell me I can just take the wheels and leave the car on blocks for some reason.) I'd like to take my nicer wheels and snow tires off of it and perhaps either sell them or use them on the next car if they fit.

Those are my aftermarket 18s which I use for winter wheels with snow tires on them. I have identical 19s for my summers, which are in pretty good shape. The 18" wheels on the car are a little scraped up, especially the front driver side, which went into the curb pretty hard during the accident, but I think it could be reconditioned. Probably 3 of the wheels need some reconditioning. The spare is the stock 18" avus wheel, which I only have one of after selling the other four.

This car now for sale on eBay (not by me). I emailed the seller to let him know that it does in fact have suspension damage (which is why it was totaled) and that the impact caused the coolant to immediately leak out, so I'm not sure if you can call the car "drivable" unless that damage has already been fixed. Also, the battery was dead the next morning, so I'm guessing there is some damage to the electrical system. Also, I think the tech who looked at the car said there was damage to the A/C system as well. I'm guessing the seller doesn't know these things.
