thanks everybody for the kind words!!
rufio, billy, mike, solless, bean, luke, and mitch! and all the other 
's
i really do miss everybody but i go to school 5 days a week from 6:30am to 12:45pm, with only 1 fifteen-minute break!
anyway, to put all worries to rest, i was not injured at all in the car accident, nor was the BMW sales rep. but lesson learned...
and here's a tip, george, colin, MC, et. al. minors, don't let your passengers egg you on! do NOT give in to peer pressure! i did and am paying for it greatly.
obviously, we kept insurance out of it (my deductible is $1k!) so i'm paying for all the damage out of my pocket. the plus side, however, is that i'm exploiting the accident to install some beefier suspension. as we speak, my car is at the shop with front and rear body panels off, and the complete front/rear suspension assemblies off the car. they're waiting for me to decide what parts i want put back on!
i'm looking at some koni 3-way adjustable coil-overs with external reservoirs. what do you guys think? the spoon wishbones were too expensive, so I'm sticking with OE replacements, with mugen urethane bushings and comptech tie-rods. as for the brakes, i'm gonna stick with all stock.

one more thing, i have 3 spoon wheels for sale, if anybody wants them. make me an offer. if not, then i'l just order another rear wheel and be done with it.
the left-rear wheel was damaged beyond repair; it'd be cheaper to replace it than to fix it, because the lip was cracked completely off on part of it.
