Spun out & hit wall =( Sadness, anyways so like around a month ago I was over @ OIA and I normally pay with epass, but left it @ home. So I pulled up behind a lexus rx300. Anyways, the ****** infront of her needed to get out of the lane for some reason and told her to back up. So she backed up into me. I had time to back up but didnt think to do it during the time. So I guess their were paint cracks and a couple other deep gashes. Cost 1300 to repaint, new bumper, blend it up through the front of the car. I got the car back a week ago friday.
This is the sad part. Last night as we all know it was raining really hard. I knew my tread was getting low but I thought I had enough. So im driving down the 408 going east driving about 50-60mph and before bumby exit I lost traction, my back end went out and I went sideways into a concrete barrier.
I am thankful i'm ok and I didnt hit anyother cars. It looks like what I just got done in the body shop im going back for. 
Looks like ill have to replace my front headlights as well. Do any of you know how much the front headlights are a piece? Anyways thats my horror story that happened in slow mo last night. If anyone wants to donate money to the fix my car foundation just holla at me.

Well that sucks man. I ran my silver Formula at OSW in Sportsman last night, they anounced it was going to rain later at night. Many people on DOT tires and dragradials left early to beat the rain. I was worried cause I had gotten sideways on the 408 Epwy on MT dragradials last year in rain, I got home before it rained last night unfortunately you didn`t.
Damn that sucks.
Hope your luck turns around soon.
Acturally if you were going 50-60 and hit a concrete barrier I would say your luck was pretty good.
Your okay and the car is 200 times better then I expected after reading the story.

Also, the bumper was pushed in some, enough to where I can pop the hood, but I cant get to the lever to lift the hood up, and the lights wont go down. Is there anything else that could have been damaged if the bumper was pushed in some, also keep in mind the sidep anels next to the bumper dont look to be damaged so it wasnt pushed in too too far?????

I finally got the lights to go down and I was finally able to get my hood up. Went to the bodyshop and he was able to close my hood all the way. I had been driving with it notlatched becausr the bumper is pushed in and wouldnt allow it. Its gonna cost me about $1700 to fix. There goes my ls6, lt's, and a stall for now.
Sorry to see that happen! At least the damage isnt worse. looks like you just scraped along it and didnt pile drive into it and bang up everything in the other side of the bumper. Good luck getting it fixed!
not tryn to hijack u, but i had pretty much the same damage, some MORON lady just back in into the front and side of me when i was just sitting in the parking lot of walgreens, mine was around 1300 to, but urs looks alot worse

I was quoted @ 1584.00 to fix it. I think it would be less, but I also have encluded in the estimate a driver side power mirror, that will have to be painted. The mirror is about 120.00, to paint it some more as well. I dont know where it happened but some ****** prob hit my mirror and broke the plastic bracket thing that attaches to the mirror. So I figured I might as well fix it while its there.
