damage appears to be cosmetic, but since it high centered onto the green there is likely to be more damage to the undercarriage. i was extremely lucky not to hit anything. the green area brought me to a very gentle stop.

Your alive and that matters more than the damaged car! I hope you get it fixed or you are able to get another SC.

Take it another shop or two if it's drivable. You should fine one that will do it for a lot less then what the initial estimates are. Take the insurance payout, buy the car back and fix it. Unless the frame is bent. Put the rest of the $$$ in the bank. Drive the hell out of it. It will have a salvage title but oh well.

frame is out of spec. too much of a hasle to fix or buy another sc. ga$$ is draining my wallet. it is fixable but i'd rather buy a yaris instead.

i had the car for 3yrs, been driving for ~7yrs. i went over the preliminary estimate and apparently the car JACKED UP. not only is the frame crooked but the floor pan and both crossmembers need to be replaced also.
