Well, it was a good run... i made the horrible decision to go fast through a road i hadn't been on in almost a year... When taking a left turn at ~70mph i hit a pothole which made the rear end kick out.... i over-corrected, i was almost completely backwards when i hit the ~11'' curb (my s2000 is, well i guess was, lowered on Megan Racing Coilovers), it ripped the front bumper off, Destroyed my left two rpf-1's busted all 4 tires, busted 3 of the coilovers, shattered my left rear rotor and bent the entire hub, and has appeared to have ripped the left rear axle off of the Diff, i'm not really sure (because the car was sitting on it's frame) but the back left wheel is just completely f*cked and when put into first there is a horrible sound coming from that area

After all that the tow truck driver mangled my Q300 exhaust while trying to load it onto the truck

any idea's what travelers will give me, i have full coverage.. (i'm about 99% sure it's totaled)

Im sure they wont give me enough to buy another S, so i was looking at this http://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/2858570865.html any thoughts?

That really doesn't look badly damaged at all.

Yea that's what i thought when i got out of the car i what like "YES!!!! not very much damage!" but i when i put it in gear it just makes the sound similar to the sound of a blown Diff... ant the back wheel is wedged up into the rear bumper but hey, if it ends up not being that damaged i'll be extremely happy, more pics of back left wheel damage (sorry if the quality is bad they were stills screenshot from a video) :

i dont know... im probably wrong about the extent of the damage, i guess im just depressed because i crashed the first car i've had that truly enjoyed, i guess now i know how my brother felt when he totaled his nsx 8 hours after he bought it.

Thats repairable, at most it looks like bumper, and rear , diff axles and whatnot, they will replace with oem parts, so you should be okay, depends though i suppose. And you can buy s2000s for about $12k now so im sure youll be back.
