Well, Thank you all for the fast replies. I am not trying to be give a hard time with this fix nor am I trying to get something out of it. I was just simply asking a question. I dont understand why most of your replies are negative.

This is so far up to date. as for the pictures of the parts / areas they fixed I dont have. The car itself was not driveable when it stopped in the middle lane of the highway. I dont think i was fully explaining the situation. when I say the car came to a stop I didnt mean a it slowed down gradually to a stop. I mean I stopped... try going 60+ on a highway and slam on the brakes and see what happens. That is how I stopped. I didnt press the brakes or anything. So yea near death is correct I believe.
