two cops down the street watched it happen so he got in a little trouble, I've had estimates from 15 - 20k or more if theres sub frame dmg, my insurance doesn't cover him so he is paying out of his pocket and he is a close friend. with all of that I don't think he needed a kick in the *****, lesson learned and luckily no one was hurt

all in due time...

jk...

That said, I think everyone has had a "scare" - Its what you do afterwards
that counts. I.e. - not make the same mistake twice. Wet roads + z's + aggressive driving = dangerous mix.

15-20k? What year is the car? That might be more than the car is worth.
