Alright so there is the carnage and here is what happened.
I was driving home from dinner with my parents at the Double Tree on Cabrillo. Made a left on cabrillo going down the beach. The first left where the road starts to get a little windy is where it happened. I made the left (at the speed limit mind you) and it had just started raining pretty hard. I spun to the left and did a 900 and ended up going backwards but swerving left and right and coming up on the right turn which on the otherside of is a lake...So I kinda freaked and decided to brake, that does absolutely nothing, so I turned left to turn the car around but i was too close to the wall just smacked the rear left side into it and slowed to a stop while scraping my ass along it....
I was fine, just pissed. I was like "dammit and I wasn't even doing anything fun!" haha It didn't hit me until I got to my apartment that things are ****ED. Hopefully its all bodydamage. Definetly not going through insurance...the back door opens a little wierder now and the trunk is way crooked.....but it drives perfectly straight and runs fine still....so i have high hopes.
If its totalled...I might have to get an older junkier car

Re: (Elvir)

So the stereotype that people in California can't drive in rain really is true....

Sucks what happened to you I imagine you got away lucky without frame damage...did you get a quote on how much it'll be to fix it?
 
take a day to rip off the rear quarter panel and the rear bumper. you never know, you could luck out and its pure body damage with nothing done to the structure of the car. if thats the case run down to the junkyard and pickup the pieces you need and get them repainted http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
and if you do so happen to luck out, consider yourself DAMN lucky. gl with the fix
