Guy that towed put wheel under.

passenger side. front wheel barely hanging on.


Both fenders are like this. Damaged when wheels hit the curb?

Bumper damage.

I wonder if my coilovers are ok =/

What do you guys think?
Somehow at least one of my rotors shattered too. A few, if not all, rims need to be replaced. Front lip has a large crack.
I think VSA was on, but i swerved a little to dodge a cat, turned wide and must've slipped on something. It's a development area so there's lots of dirt. Looks like i'm going to cancel my plans of getting a hardtop and rims.

I hope the cat you swerved to miss was more expensive than the damage to your car.....

I can't imagine an insurance company declaring that car a total loss.

If you want it totalled, you need a really high damage estimate. Find a high end body shop. Sometimes the body shop of the Honda dealer will write a high estimate. Or try The Golden Hammer body shop in West L.A.

you can get the body thats not sitting flush re aligned at a body shop
and dont worrie too much about it. just be glad your ok and take it day by day,

I have to admit, as amazing as the S2000 is, it's a completely different car. How would you guys suggest I learn to control the car to it's limits? Not that i'd drive it to it's limits but so i would know what to do when the time is right.

go to local scca events and practice pushing your car to its limits where the worst thing you will hit is a orange cone
