Default Another "I wrecked my S" thread

Well...it was raining pretty hard today and I was heading into work via the highway. I was in the middle lane doing 60-65, hit some standing water, felt the back end swing back and forth, which turned into a 360, ended up in the median facing front again, then smacked the guardrail. I've been sick to my stomach all day...someone shoot me

that sucks, but it doesn't "look" too bad... assuming there is no damage to the frame itself, looks like the only thing you need to replace are the two fenders, headlight, and get a new front bumper.. alignment is also defenitely needed as well.. be careful out there guys..

Thanks for the support everyone. Please be careful out there...

I definitely broke the axle, hence the wheel tilting in so drastically. I'm just praying there's no frame damage.

I was driving straight very carefully and it just happened out of nowhere...Ironically, I just dropped my insurance on the Prelude in preparation for the engine rebuild. Time to resurrect it...

I'm so heartbroken right now
