wow, that sucks.

Depending on the the miles and the trim package of that car, it may be totaled by the insurance.

edit: if the engine is in good shape they will probably fix it.

accidents happen. people will always run the touge no matter what. thanks for sharing your story and keep it safe and in control. i agree, take it to the track: www.speedventures.com

they have about 3 events every month, plenty to get your g force fixes in. the cost of admission is a lot cheaper than a speed ticket/reckless driving and it's a lot safer too.
