i read a statistic somewhere that said like 95% of all accidents happen within 5 miles from the home. lucky for you the only thing that took the beating was your rims, and now those 17's became 20's...

Just be glad that only your rims took a beating, I knew a guy who was a swimmer with me, and we always were tired, well he got to tired one night while driving and ran his car into a tree, he didnt survive the wreck, I have always been hard on people about driving when they are too tired ever since.

Wheels look good...replacements that is...hehe.. Good thing you didn't cream a guiderail...yikes..

Also, with those metal car ramps. Thos are very dangerous and I'm not sur e i see jack stands under there either??
A long time friend of the family/neighbor was working on his '69 chevelle with his son. The car was parked on those exact same ramps. Well, the car fell on them both. Killed the father and the son was basically a vegetable for 5 years. never fully recovered.
I built myself car ramps out of solid wood. Even then i won't crawl under without additional support.
hell, the oil can be changed without even lifting up the front. That's what i do.
