It's actually quite easy and common to oversteer an S if you punch the throttle while making a 90 degree turn. Rear wheel drive and pretty good horspower means you gotta pay attention and feather the throttle at the turn. Be safe out there, and to the OP good luck with the repair. I have an '03 Sebring and the pictures mad me sad

95% chance that its a loss, insurances rep just called me, he said due to low miles, he was adding an extra 3k to the amount I get paid back, but he does not want to give me an exact # till he talks to his boss. It sucks because iv been looking around and every 02-03 has almost twice the amount of miles. In a way I was hoping they could fix it because I was second owner and everything ran perfectly. not sure how much they will offer me, but I plan to buy the car back if they dont ask for a large amount. car still drivable and interior was 9/10

OK, I'm a newbie, but how do you lose control while making a turn from a traffic light? 
Oil on the road? Right leg cramp? Showing off?

OP, sorry about your car
My point is that if you are going to start a post about crashing, you should be expected to explain exactly how it happened. Maybe others can learn from it.
(I am sorry about his car also. One less S in the world is something to be sorry about.)

Actually doesn't look that bad but insurance companies are usually banned from fixing frame damage... Good thing is if they total you can buy back fix it and make her a dedicated track car then scoop up another s as a daily

You can buff that out
(sorry man- it's a loss...)
he did, eh!
You know all about too much throttle in curves, eh
I didn't want to be the one to say it, but that's kinda what I thought, too.... How does one spin out coming from a dead stop at a traffic light?!
