I was bored and I wanted to show you s2k members my accident I had. If you notice the license plate is still the paper plate.
Only had a concussion. I was at a stop light and i was wanting to change lanes to the right lane after I the light turned green. I konw that some of you probably think that i was speeding but i wasn't. I couldn't speed because there was traffic all around me. The back tires just lost traction, did a 180, hit the curb with the passenger rear tire, took out two mailboxes, and spun all they way up a steep hill. The car spun a good 50 ft before it stopped. The S is all fixed now. Grand TOTAL! $$$ 12,000 $$$$. My insurance just sky rocketed because I was only 18 when I had this accident. That was just the first car accident of the day. The next one was with my mom's Toyota Avalon. Someone t-boned me in a parking lot. I have never had any speeding tickets or other accidents before. I can honestly say that was the worst day in my life.

I didn't hit the gas, if i did i would have hit the person in front of me. I have had problems with my back wheels feeling like they are losing traction before. I just never really though too much about it. I have new tires now. It is a lot better.

Its hard to believe $12k damage looking at the pictures -- that 36% of the original price. Looking at the extent of the damage, its even harder to believe you were simply turning right from a dead stop and all this happened! But it clearly had to be the worst day ever!!!!

i can believe the 12K range with all the paint work needed. Also, look at that back wheel, there is obviously major suspension and drivetrain work to be done there. Sucks man, i know what it is like to wreck your S, i really baby mine when the tires are not warm, i found it can be dangerous to be even the least bit agressive with cold tires.
