Fender needs to be repaired, my p.side front volk is curbed DEEPLY all around the lip (face is fine), but it may be bent, i dont know. Headlight is scratched. Everything behind the fender is unscathed. Worst part is propbably the suspension. The wheel was cocked back into the fender so i had to get it towed. I hope it wont cost too much to fix. Maybe a new strut, LCA, and god knows what else.
Orlando hates me.

The same thing happened to me. I was driving on John Young Pkwy and also going around 40 to 45. I was not so lucky instead of the guard rail I hit a tree. I heard z hydroplanes really easy...
Good luck to you with the repairs wish you better luck than me cause the insurance totaled my car...

I have a base so i dont have vdc. I think at most its TCS but i dont know man, i dont think the tires would have caught the road even if it did kick in.

yeah, i think this thing taught me that driving with Summer tires in florida is not smart. From now on only All-season, and saving the summer tires for when i go to the track.
Holy sh*t...too many accidents...and my daily driver cant be parked...cause it's my daily driver.. 
i also have to go to the body shop since my last bump..waiting on Lou so we could go see one of his contacts.....
