JDM Type-R rolls down the hill trying to get on the freeway.
Well I'm pretty bummed out right now. The car i've babied for months is now crippled. I've just realized how important changing out your tires can be. I pretty much fishtailed making a right turn to get on the freeway, tried to countersteer ended up fishtailing again and my car just did a complete 180, got off the road and rolled down the hill. Thank god i'm still alive walkin or I could have been a vegetable if I didn't have my seatbelt on. Well heres some before and after pics of the car. You guys might recognize this car from EBAY. Guess its not up for sale now. I wonder how much insurance is gonna give me.

man, its sickening to see something that beautiful die that way 
atleast you're okay, thats the main thing. i'm wondering if its repairable though...hmm.
i'm curious as to how much insurance would "value" your car, it being an actual imported true rhd jdm vehicle...good luck.

It doesn't look too bad...you shouldn't total it! Let me know if you need parts, I may be able to help for a decent price. (This offer is extended to ssacol ONLY...so please don't IM me askin for parts unless you are him...thanks)
Re: JDM Type-R rolls down the hill trying to get on the freeway. (ssacol)
oh wow...sorry to hear about your car dude.
hopefully the car will be repairable. from the pictures, it doesn't look like a total loss. but then again, it's kinda hard to say. hopefully the frame is still intact.
but one things for sure, if the insurance decides to total your car, they most likely won't cover your aftermarket parts. they'll just go off of the blue book value of the car and give you that. but if they do total it, you might want to buy the car off of the insurance company and then part it out. either put the parts into a hatchback or just sell them. that way you can recoup some of your loss.
either way good luck on everything.

Re: (crx_ef8)
kinda off tangent, but i know how you feel man. the whole reason im on this board is because i bought my ITR after i lost my JRSCed prelude about a month ago, thanks to the poor decision making skills of another person.
