sorry to see that happen, but things could definently get worst, and its good that you came out unscaved. now its time to start searching for a 5.5 6pd 
oh, not to sound like an ***, but that looks like a residential area, which is like 25mph, you must have been going pretty fast to spin out in the rain...

I'm glad to see you made it out alright...
...but in all seriousness, you must have been hauling a'ss to total your car to that extent. My brother spun out in the rain doing 30mph and he had not 25% of the damage you have to your car.

that's the thing, i wasn't going fast at all..the speed limit was 25 and i was going like 28-30...i don't know what went wrong..either the wet payment/wet leaves or turning too sharp but it was bad..im so upset..thank you everyone,any good word makes me feel that much better
At least you're okay, that's the important part. 
By the looks of it, your car is totalled. I was in a rear-ender a couple years back where they literally replaced my entire trunk floor and re-painted half of the car (both rear fenders were slightly damaged) - Even that was above $8k in damages.

Damn man, that was one sexy black maxima. Well, if I was you, Tow it out the junkyard and get it to your house taken off what you want because most likely that car is totalled.. That rear is going to need to be replaced by getting another max from the junkyard and cutting the whole rear piece off, and putting it on yours.. Going to be ALOT of money involved..
looks like a residential area. definitely shouldn't have been going as fast as you were, the damage looks closer to a 40 mph collision. lucky you didn't hit a car, house, or person.
hindsight is 20/20 though and we've all made mistakes or had close calls, unfortunately you had to learn the hard way. good thing is it looks like you'll be able to re-use most of your mods and wheels.

Sorry about the loss, must have been rough. As others have said, that seems like some pretty extensive damage for 30 MPH.

Same here, Rear-ended, $8K worth. adjuster told me to total out repairs have to exceed 70% of book value. Here is where we get screwed. To fix was $8K, book value was $17K, trade in value was $13K. So at least had she done $12K damage, I would have got my $17K + whatever I paid for mods, or at least part of it, so keep you receipts!
On the flip side, If I get hit again by yet another idiot, and they do more than $3-4K damage, then they will total it because of the previous hit.
BTW, I have not been able to spin out my FWD max by accident. The only way I have spun out is "snow drifting" with the parking brake. Your fronts would have had to grip, and the back end come loose. You were either goofing around, going more than 30, or were driving on bald rear tires.
I know it rained a lot here yesterday...but the only way you were going 28-30 MPH and accomplished that much damage is if you looked at the speedo after you hit something (and it slowed you down). I would agree that looks like 40MPH damage. The only thing worse than wrecking your car is not being honest about the speed. Good to hear you are okay, but it looks like an expensive lesson.
You can spin out because of oil on the road also. I was going about 20 mph up a ramp on a 95+ degree sunny day when the back end of the max spun out on me, at first I thought it was the rsb(understeer) because I installed it the week before, then I thought I had a flat; when I got out the car to check everything out, I touched my tires and the road and it was oil all over them. Cars that were coming up behind me had a hard time getting up the ramp, I guess the oil leakage from previous vehicles built up over time. The next day when I came up the same ramp, they had cat litter all over the road, I guess alot of people complained. Glad you are ok and I hope you can save the Max.

Good job lying though.

It doesn't matter much now as to how fast he was going or what "could have happened" The young guy wrecked his baby.... have some compassion. How do you think you would feel.... pretty damn stupid given the same situation. I've had many close calls and some real head bangers and looking back it was always because of some stupid move or action on my part. Hey roll4life look at this as an opportunity to start on a new car and not make all the mistakes that you may have made on the crashed one. Sorry to hear about the crash and sometimes life's lessons are learned the hard way.... so to speak.
Sorry to tell u but it's deff totaled 
. Yes man it's A GOOD LESSON!!! for you thank god u live.
I totaled my first max the same way wheel stuck on the ice.
BTW i was going 60 on 30 and the damage was less than what i see in this picture.

I suppose that damage could have been from about 30-35mph AT the time he hit the hydrant. But he's backwards. So he was probably going 40mph+, spun, hit the brakes and when he finally hit the hydrant, he was close to 30mph or whatever.
Sorry to say but that car is totalled. Way beyond totalled really. 2000 maxima goes for what? $10 grand? That damage is at LEAST $8-$15 worth of damage.

yea the car is totalled. shes home on the driveway now, and i dont know if its just me but i cant stop crying..it hurts so much so see it like this i dont know what to do now. as soon as the insurance guy comes to do an estimate, then i will take all the stuff off the car..jeez its just so upsetting, she only had 31k..i will probably post a buncha parts for sale here soon. i still can't believe this is real and im guessing im allowed to do anything i want with the engine and all the parts? or do i have some restrictions to what i can keep?
thank you so much for the support guys im still in shock that this happened to me

is it true that the insurance company wont give me anything for the car if they see the sway bars and new struts/springs and all the mods? should i just let everything stay how it is or should i take stuff off?
