my first accident...
ok so I was taking my friend to buy my favorite book "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max.. (THE BEST BOOK EVER... Can't wait for "******** Finish First" this Fall! ANYWAY...) .. I turned at this SHARP *** turn in the parking lot (with ESP accidently off).... but it understeered instead of oversteering and slammed into a sidewalk type of thing where they plant trees and post street signs and stuff...
something like this:

but instead of grass is was big pebble shaped rocks....
so the car ran over the entire thing and it ripped the lower front bumper, and DESTROYED my oil pan and probably destroyed a couple of other things..
I have full coverage insurance but I'm not getting an estimate from the shop till Monday... I got it towed ON A FLATBED and yea... how much $$$ in damage would u say this caused??
Please save me the "OMG YOUR SUCH AN IDIOT!! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! THIS IS WHY YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULDN'T DRIVE!!" I know I know... I'm an idiot... I literally got out the car (unhurt thank god) and just laughed at myself and called myself an idiot... Called my friend and got him to pick me up WITH HIS FLATBED...
Here are pics of the damage (Taken on an iPhone
):









AND THE WORST PART IS!!!
This girl I'm messin with was nice enough to pick me up and drive me home... but she wanted ME to drive... it was a MAZDA 3! OMG WHAT A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CAR!! WOW! the engine sounded like a CAT SCREAMING!! I had to turn up the CRAPPY radio to drain out the ANNOYING engine... and OMG IS IT SLOW!! and the handling? omg... I hated driving it.. I complained for about 10mins of the 45min ride

if you did it yourself.
front fender for like $200
you might be able to patch that bumper with fiberglass..... $40...
oilpan is a couple hundred..... hear its easy to do with 3.0. compared to my oilpan adventure on a 1.8t...... lets say $300
lower grills are about $150 for the three....
(im not sure on the lower valance - GREY)
paint and primer fender, and bumper.... thats gonna at least 4 or 5 hundred.
labor blah blah blah. my guess is $2500. let me know how close i am
