So I got into a car accident tonight.
I was going 70 around a turn and I lost grip because I hit ice. I started spinning and the I hit a gueard rail. The bumber is fucked up and the head lights are basically gone. The front left fender is pretty dented too> The drivers door wont open all the way all though is not dented. Im really not that upset about it. I thought it was fun  . Now to see about getting it fixed.

That sucks, sorry to hear that!
What were you driving? I assume it's an S4 going by your name.
Have the chassis looked at, if the door is hard to open but there isn't a dent, you might have twisted the chassis. Which isn't good!

From the sounds of it a twisted chassis is doubtful, most probably the guards moved back a bit and so the doors cant open(happened to me before). if you drove it back home it sounds good. at least you are alright, never having lost control on ice mself, wouldnt really now....but does sound fun.

70 MPH and thank you for you concern. Well, no I don't drive an S4. I would if I was out of college. I drive a 95 Oldmobile Cutlass Ciera. It's pretty nice and it gets be back and forth to where ever I need to go. The frame bent, I need a new bumber, an new header panel, a new fender, and most likely hood. I'm either going to pay cash or get a new car. Im trying to get it fixed with used parts. Me and my dad might work on it together.

Sorry to hear about the accident dude, but glad you came out of it alright. You can always replace car parts, but it's a little harder to replace you
