Glad you are ok. That looks like a nasty wreck.
Have you seen and "ABS INOP" light on the gage cluster prior to the accident? The brakes/tires should NEVER lock up above 5-10mph if the ABS system is working properly.

1st glad 2 C every one is ok. Cars are replacable.
2nd I'm gonna sound like a dick, but I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this:
**** like this is the reason all of us pay too much to insure these cars. You only had the car 1.5 months and you were pushing it way too hard on a public road. U R lucky U didn't kill any-one. Find your cars limits on the track NOT THE STREET!!!!
