All I'm saying is it is possible that the wheel or tire was hit because you can see that the hit went all the way up to the rear of the wheel well on the fender, so the Avenger could have made contact with the tire/wheel. Didn't say it was definite based on any perceived damage to the tire or wheel aside from the tire looking pretty flat. As you said, the rocker panel may have been pretty damaged from the hit, so I guess we just have different ways of saying the car may be bent. These cars don't really strike me as the type to be hit and survive. They're light, and the body panels are light. They'll get hit and protect you as an occupant, but at the cost of themselves. I could be wrong, but I never claimed to know it all or be an expert.
