Default Wheel of shame

So I got a flat this morning. I did sumthin stupid ---hit a curb I didn't see in time in a parking lot. [sm=boink3.gif] I got a stranger to loosen my lugnuts and went to work. I swear, never has a donut looked so hideous!!!
Do you think my other tire is done for? Should I just get a new one or a used one?
*update* the tire is absolutely done for. It has two rips in the side of it! If ur gonna screw it up, ya gotta screw it up right, lol

Its ok to have it on to make it home, I wouldn't drive it anymore then you have to. I got pushed off the road by a tractor trailer truck and hit a crub. Ripped a 3 inch hole in my tire and dented the hell out of my rim, luckly it was just a set of cheap steelies. Guy didn't even stopped, but a car that was in front of him heard my tire go and saw hubcap pieces shatter in the air, pulled over to give me a hand.
