I was in a similar accident.

Now I always go about 10-15 below the speed limit and keep my eyes open for any puddles.

 

Definitely fixable. I've seen worse and they didn't have frame damage, so you should be ok on that.

At least you're ok

 

best of luck with everything!

 

i drive to school/work all the time in the rain....at 40-50mph...people fly by me all the time...they don't understand how easily their car can hydroplane!!!!!

I get honked at and people flash their lights all the time, but **** it, rather be safe than sorry!!!

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

My tires were definitely not bald...front's had a lot of tread left, but more importantly the rears also had some tread left; although definitely not as much as the front, but they weren't down to the wear bars yet. I know that just b/c they weren't down to the wear bars doesn't mean that they're "ok", and I knew that it was time for new rears. I was actually planning on ordering them in the next couple weeks.

 

whatever if you have collision try and get a widebody outta it....it prob wont be too much more $$. . . .

 

Man, people are such assholes these days. I remember several years ago coming back home from a ski trip and we got caught in a nasty snow-storm. Everyone was taking it easy except SUV drivers. I told my friend I bet we see one of these idiots in a ditch. Sure as day, we saw not one, but several SUVs in accidents due to them exceeding the speed of the conditions. Yeah you may be able to go with no problem, but stopping is quite another matter.

 

sorry to hear your accident.
I hope your S gets fixed like new.

Thanks guys.

Not sure if I want to get the OEM front again...that Amuse R1 front does look tasty though

 

When I had my accident, they welded in a new rear quarter. My damage was comparable to his.
