Loosely quoting Easy E

"Wrapped the fo fo around a telephone pole
Looked at the car and said o brother
Throw it in the garage and look for another"

Crappy start to the new year

Look at this way: you can now ditch the shoulder-pad car that the 944 is and get a nice 924s instead! OK, you have every right to flame me. I apologize. Glad you're alright. Hope the repairs go well.

The short story hit third at 6k on a slight curve and lost traction ,the rear of the car hit a curb in the median then came tight and shot accross to the right where there is a elevated drainage grate. Not in a residential area and done with no traffic, im not that stupid. Hit that and spun. I started removing the damaged area but the car is totaled. Im looking for another that i might be able to switch my parts. interior which was completly new including the carpet, rebuilt engine,short shift kit, ss brake lines and on and on.

Looks like you need

bumper
hood
fenders
header / nose panel
headlights
...

What else, any internals?? You can still get parts cars with straight bodies for $1-2K where I'm from. If accept what you learn from this, using the experience to benefit you, and if you take your time to get those parts replaced and perhaps repaint your car, you may have a blessing in disguise.

Sorry to hear, but look on the bright side, that blue STP filter didn't get you later on.
