Unhappy another one bites the dust

well unfortunately friday night i wrecked my vert.. I got on it trying to pass someone and the car got completely sideways, ended up hitting the back of another car and then jumping a curve and hitting a pole head on. Im sure the car will be totalled because the air bags deployed and the front end is smashed. The crash is nowhere near as bad as it looked and i am perfectly fine but im sure my car is done for ..i will take pics of it when i get a chance probably later this week
