Default Wrecked ma Z........bleh!

Long story short, I hit either a patch of ice or sand while going around a
corner last night. I started to slide sideways but it happened so fast that I
didn't have time to react...... damage is as seen below, rear axles and god knows what else is F'd. Does anyone know of a good body shop in NOVA and
where can I take it for mechanical repairs???????? FUNCTION TUNED??????

FIXED!!!!!!! GOOD AS NEW!!!!!!!!!!

I took a few friends on a windy road and a similar thing happened. There's sand everywhere and one of our guys broke loose @ 25mph around a corner. The damage to the suspension doesn't look so bad because those arms can simply be replaced, let's just hope that's the only thing that's bent!

Props for posting up your wreckage stories, most ppl tend to hide that info =)

I hope so, I don't know how to go about getting it fixed. My insurance company says that I can just take it to one of there "Blue ribbon" repair places but the closet one to me is a Chevy dealer soooooo I dono how I feel about letting a Chevy dealer fix my Z s a

It pretty sad that I lost to a stinkin curb lol going 15mph ....... I hardly call it a wreck but the damage was jaw droppin, got lucky I was able to drive it home.

Nights in the regional area have been wet and freezing: the perfect set-up for disaster. BTW what did you hit?

Well More or less was making a right turn while on my way home, I hit sand or something cause the back end just went out. I tried to compensate with the steering but before I could react it went opposite way and SLAM curb met front rim and then rear followed, hopped up onto a curb and then back onto road. This was just sheer bad luck, I wasnt doing anything out of norms.

I mean what took all the paint from the top of the fender? A curb is only about 6 inches high.

Yeah bro I hope not, I got under there not to long ago and I figurethat the arm needs to be repalced, no fluids leaking so hopefully its not as bad as I think. These car's arent cheap to fix unfortunately
