Thanks everyone for your concern. Sorry I haven't came back here, I've only been checking the For Sale forum for aftermarket parts.
An update on what's going on. I'm feeling better, no cuts, but my left leg, my lower back, and my neck are still a little sore. It was only my car involved. Some how I spun off the road, went through a barbed wire fence, down a hill about 50 feet, and smashed head-on into 3 trees. I was only going about 35 mph. I don't know how or understand how that happened. Anyway, I did a good number on the car. So far, in just body damage, I've done $8500 worth. Smashed the front really good and pushed the radiator back. I didn't break any suspension parts or anything so that's good. It's mostly cosmetic, so I'm getting a new paintjob and I'm going to be getting a different color. Going to be getting a few other aftermarket parts too, like a carbon fiber hood. Should look really good when it's done.

The roads weren't wet. That's mostly why I don't understand why it happened. My tires were good. Lots of people have wrecked cars in the same spot, but most of them were going a lot faster than me. Some people said that it's just really bad pavement, kinda slick. That, or I put a wheel off the pavement and got into the grass a little and that's what did it, I don't know for sure.
I got some pics before it was taken to the body shop cause I had it at my house. It's going to be very different when it gets done. I'm getting a Top Secret carbon fiber hood and it's getting repainted Imola Orange. Should be quite nice when it's done. They said I should have it back by the end of the month.
8BALL- I might have to take you up on the hot tub offer.
