Sorry about the accident, your car looked good. Make sure that tow truck driver didn't damage your wheels when he hooked it up to the truck.

Ugh, that sucks - I figured that they would. Any idea if they'll cover it?

I love the white w/ white wheels, looks classy.

You can ask for them but it's not guaranteed.
