i hit the wallside on the tollway (i guess you could call it the median)

i mean, looks like theres no frame damage (Hopefully) and the cars been running fine..

but i dont know what else that could be wrong with it...

right now, its at least both the rear quarter panels, trunk, new back bumper and a new trunk.

i've been very depressed for the past few days lol

^^ it's now or never, the time and money you'll spend to fix it, and decide to do it later on will cost only double if not more.. lol

Wow...that really stinks. I know it was slippery out, but I never saw any ice.

I think it's time for widebody!
