I spun out on 290 and smashed the rear of my car against the wall couple of years ago. Didn't have any issues after it was fixed. I was nervous driving it home though had my brother follow every couple of minutes i'd call him asking is the car driving straight i was so worried that i screwed something up. But in the end everything turned out ok.

Both of my vette's and my camaro were totaled by the insurance company. I bought all of them wrecked, fixed them in my shop. Now I beat on them like they owed me money. You would never know that they had even a small scratch, let alone being totaled out. Get in the damn car and run the **** out of it. That is what it is made for and stop being such a *****.
