Well sorry to hear about that. Man that sucks. If you decide to part it out, let me know. I'm right by you and I really need a few things. Make some cash on your loss. God I hate looking at those pictures.

this is how it happened...
i went pretty much straight off the road and started getting sideways then halfway down the ditch i completely turned and was backwards. i hit the back end straight into the bottom of the ditch and rolled up hill, between a tree and bushes. the tree obviously caught about a half foot of my drivers side and i rolled through the bushes with the passenger side. if i was about another 2 feet away from the tree i woulda hit the retention wall. there was almost no chance of me not hitting either, not to mention i wasnt even steering at that point. besides the damage was already done from the ditch, all the tree did was muck up the drivers 1/4, door, rocker and fender. that is fixable but theres a bunch of structural damage when u take the carpet and plastic panels out of the back by the spare tire and such.

my stupidity.im not gonna mention any specific numbers, but i was going VERY fast about 200 yards from the turn and started to slow, and the amount i slowed from my original speed was so great that it didnt seem like i was going that fast(if that makes sense) like you get off the highway and continue to do 60mph on 40mph street i guess you can say. anyways, i slowed down ALOT and it seemed like enough to make the turn but obviously it wasnt. car didnt have a chance with the speed i was going and the rear tires.

i kinda wanna part it out but my dad wants me to try to just sell it as is. either way i want to save it till i get another one and take any parts i want or need off it. just trade stock for good stuff from this one. also i might put my trans and clutch assembly in my next car if its auto. idk. i prolly wont have any car at all till april at least. im so mad at myself right now.
