well, i was driving down i405 south. and then some dude in a lifted excursion it seemed like drifted all the way to my far right lane. as a natural reaction i dodged. front had no traction in the rain, and the second i got onto the wet grass my car would not stop.

then, i shot over the ledge and landed, but not before running through a garden of thick thorny brushes which brought my car to a stop. was a good 150 feet down the 40 degree slope.

the driver did not stop

thanks for the concern guys I'm okay. was a hard fall for sure though wish i have a picture of the ditch itself and how steep it was.

front bumper is cracked and bent. a few pieces behind the bumper is bent inwards. front lip, side skirts, and part of the rear diffuser is destroyed. rear left tire debeaded itself. fender liner ripped off. a few pieces on the undercarriage ripped off but honestly its not too bad.

hood fenders and quarter panels are okay. a look under the undercarriage shows little sign of damage.

suspension wise well have to see. ill miss the setup i had but if all goes well i'll bring forth some good stuff for you guys

07/08 right don't think they'll total it...

But if you're looking to jump ship I'm sure some choice words with the adjuster/body shop would see it totaled!
