I'm guessing that because you were doing donuts in the snow your VDC was off? And then you forgot to turn it back on when leaving?
I have a G35 and I drive it all winter with VDC ON. It helps a lot
No problem having fun in the snow, just don't forget the magic buttton....

man so sorry for you. i used to be very close with those people who work on the body shop and i saw many car like that in that days.If you are in SOCAL and get it fixed in the bodyshop that i used to hang around, i would say its about 3000-4000k.It seems like the door is not damage and the rear bumper is not that bad,you can actually rebuild it as well as the skirt.
Was the wheel bend anyway ? If the wheel was push inside,there's no way it will drive the same.

Are you kidding? I got 5 windshield chips, a one inch hood scratch, and numerous nose divets from some gravel that fell off a truck 15 car lengths in front of me on the freeway, and it was $1750 in repairs... You are looking at $3-4k in damages there... Even if it were a VW bug....

You have alot of damage and need a new panel and also probably some rear bumper and driver door damage from what I can see.
$1,500 in your dreams....
a few thousand easy
sorry to see OP
driving in the snow w/ a 350Z = avoid at all costs.
but honestly WTF would you be going more than 5 MPH in parking lot snow for?!?!
15-20 in the snow and trying to turn. You kinda had it coming.

So today the garage called me...when they cut off the old fender they found more damage so its going to be in for a little longer than expected
BUT!
They are giving me a new bumper because a clip broke which is good because there was stress markes on that one and it looks like the previous owner melted it alittle around the license plate area some how
and they will be fixing a dent i had on my hatch that was put there by the previous owner because the painters needs to put paint on that area and he doesnt like painting over stuff like that so what evs...thanks
Good that has come out of this:
Bird **** stain on the wrecked fender = gone
Hatch Dent = fixed
Crappy Bumper = replaced
+ new paint!
