[QUOTE=Driv300mph,Apr 11 2006, 06:26 PM]So... I'm guessing your tires didn't grip the road and just plowed straight forward due to understeer? Was it raining?

Regardless, I see you have S-02's on the front and Fuzions on the back.

I hope they total it for your sake, IMO cars are never the same once they have had front end damage like that.

I hate to say this, but I think she might be totalled. There's a lot of damage to the frame and the windshield header, plus both of the airbags deployed. In either case, I'm not sure if I'd want the car back after an accident like that. Someone else said it already, but cars are never the same after damage like that. It may be fixed correctly, but there's just something "off" about them you'll never be able to repair. Good luck with the whole situation, and here's to hoping you get a brand new AP2!

Did something come through the windshield or did the car being torqued cause it to break?

No a small cedar tree broke off when i hit it. It flew up hit the windshield and bent the windshield frame. Then it flew over top of the car and messed up the trunk. I had the top down too, so i'm lucky the airborn tree didn't hit myself or my friend.

Well, just looking at the external damage isn't enough to determine if it's repairable. However, I would try to total the thing if possible. Chances are, after tearing into the suspension that you will end up with a lot more repairs than it looks. You probably bent the steering rack as well. Start looking for a replacement would be my recommendation.
