ok here's the story. i'm driving down a twisty back road in my town(aka Steven Kusek AutoX Way), but this time i'm going slow, 35-40. i come halfway around a corner and there is a boom truck, a canopy truck(like a verizon truck) going like 50 in the middle of the road. i swing out to avoid him hit some sand and the back end starts coming out, to top it all off there was a light mist on the roads. i never recover the slide and end up sideways and catch traction and go through a tree into a steep ditch. i hit a medium sized rock after the tree and came to a stop. i was shaken not stirred, popped the door open and climbed out(in my shirt and tie, i was going to work) walked 1/4 mile to my friends house and got him out of bed "dude we have a serious problem, get dressed now" him "$hit where did you crash" me "up the street"
we get there and i call work tell them i'm ok and i'll be there when i get my car out. then call the cops and they eventually show up, i told him what happened and the neighbor told him the trucks always fly by his house and have almost ran him off the road before too. he said he WILL NOT cite me, so no points on my insurance got the car out need: both fenders, one maybe two headligth assemblies, bumper, minor support beam work for fenders and headlight assemblies, front passenger door skin, passenger side sill. that's what they said jsut by looking at it. they are gonna get an estimate and have the insurnace adjustor out tomorrow and it will be about 4k i think, seeing as it's 1200 for just the lights. i know the guys at the shop and they said they will try and get extra **** added that i dont' needd so i don't even have to pay my deductible. i'll know soon enough.
and i am getting rid of the car ASAP. whatever route i go it doesn't matter but i no longer want it. AS of now i will take dibs on all parts off the car. i'll post in Fs with specifics and stuff. I'm looking at E36 M3's(again), 98-99 M Roadsters, maybe a new Z3, audi S4 or TT coupe(225HP), 98-99 Eclipse GSX, any other suggestions??????

the max isn't totalled. i'm gonna try and break even on what i owe and then start over. under 30K i want to spend. i'm looking a WRX right now. ive decided i'm not gonna get everything i want in my price range, so i'm compromising. WRX will be fun and modable.
