Serious Help, Need Guidance
I was driving the c5 2 days ago in the rain and hydroplaned. I lost control of the car and crashed into a curb and yy left rear tire exploded and the stock rim cracked on one of the spokes. I will be posting pictures very soon. I only have a total of 8 days to fix the car. The carbon fiber near the tire also split and some pieces broke. The front left bumper also split. I am low on cash, and i need some assistance. I have to drive back from Georgia to New Jersey in 8 days. I was here for vacation. Does anyone have any idea on what to do?

Hope you will find a solution to your dilemma. It might not be too hard to find a replacement stock rim and the bumper can be duct-taped to hold it in place till you can get a new one..Indy

There is only 1 thing to do and that is to call your agent right away and get it into the shop asap, I don't think you will make it in 8 days.
