Was on my way to work this morning in the rain and spun around twice and slammed into a concrete guardrail. I'm really surprised I kept it spinning straight enough to avoid the other cars, after the second spin though it felt like the power steering locked up or something. The lower control arm is bent now, the wheel is history, sideskirt needs some repair but fixable, the rear bumper got scuffed up, tail light filled with water, my triple guage pod got knocked off and the cargo cover snapped the pins that hold it up. There's some work to be done this weekend for sure now.

That sucks, sorry to hear, at least it's repairable, it could have been much worse.
