Coming back over from my buddy's uncle's place and going about 70-75 or so took a coner that shouldn't have been any problem and the back end kicked out like I pulled the e-brake. Tried to counter it, and did so but induced a whip like affect and snapped sideways the other way and right into the guard rail. Hit the guard rail at about 60 mph.

So if anyone has the parts you can obviously see are messed up let me know. Thanks

Sorry to see that. I guess you'll be getting the front end repainted like you wanted though.

Thats sucks.You'd probably be better off looking for another shell.

Thats what I was thinking but I'd really like to just get by with putting new fenders, hood and cross my fingers for no frame damage.

Glad you are ok. Are you sure that is fixable? It looks pretty damn bad. I take it you don't have collision? It would definately be totalled. There are parts cars around, I am sure someone will be able to get you most of the parts.

It takes a while to figure out how to drive an AWD car. You probably got out of the gas once it started going sideways. That is just like hitting the brakes. You need to stay in the gas some, let off a bit, but not all the way. Messing around in a big parking lot in the snow is a really good way to get the feel for it.

It's a fwd

I'm unsure as of yet if it is fixable or not. I haven't had the balls to look at the frame.

Sorry to here this man, but try to remember your one lucky S.O.B., hitting a gaurdrail @ 60 and not getting hurt!
