In need of some emotional support. Crashed.
It was raining today in Southern California. I was on a curved freeway onramp, lost traction, and spun a 360 into a wall. Car has a good chance of being totaled. Sorry i didn't take pics, but the front and back were hit and my wheels/tires/suspension is basically done. Wondering what to do right now if it is totaled? If anyone has an early clk w/ or w/out mods or like a mid 90s S coupe that they could give me a deal on, let me know.

Ouch! I'm glad you're OK though. No car is worth anybodies life. So just take a deep breath, look in the mirror and be happy that you're still here. 
Now on to vulture side of me: Wanna sell me your exhaust?

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. As far as parts, i've already gotten a couple requests, and basically i just have to find out what the status of the car is on teusday or wednesday when the claims agent comes; totalled or not. If it's totalled, i get the impression i could take off most of the stuff i put on, so i'll let you know, most of my mods are in my signature, lol albeit maybe a flat hood emblem and "brabus" emblem.

That accident might have saved your life.
When I was 17, I rolled my truck over and needed 20 stitches in my face because I wasn't wearing my seatbelt and my head hit the steering wheel. From then on I always wore a seatbelt. A year later I rolled my car (duh) down a canyon rolling it over and over 4+ times. If I didn't have that first crash that taught me something important about wearing a seatbelt, I probably would have gotton thrown out of the window and been crushed as the car rolled over me.
I never had an accident since then, but any crash you survive and learn something is a good crash. Like everyone says, don't sweat it too much. After a while it'll be just a good story you tell every once in a while.
