Man that suuuucks! [emoji25] What happened? Everyone okay after?

Unfortunately I would guess insurance will total it. Hope you paid cash or have GAP insurance so you can get back on the road soon!

Good thing the tree was there, it looks like a pretty ugly hill to go over.

Hard to tell how bad from pics. Did the airbags deploy? Looks repairable if they didn't. Write off if they did.

I don't want to be a jerk to OP, but it looks like a driver at fault type of deal

It might have been but could have been a poorly maintained road and OP hits some crap on the road and loses traction.

No, OP went way over his ability, but he was just asking about damage.

Well, alexes4 , first off, welcome to our forum - :clap:

I hope you and any passenger(s) are OK.

Your first posts are supposed to be about asking how to modify your car, NOT repair it - :sigh:

The damage; well the tree looks like it has been hit before and survived, but now it's older and looks like it suffers from root damage, so it may not make it.

Oh, your car? The insurance may fix it or maybe they will write it off - hard to tell.

If you feel like talking about your accident, we are here to listen. If not, we will understand, even though most of us has wrecked a car in our driving careers.

Um. If you lose traction and it wasn't because some guy just purposefully poured oil on a corner, you were going too fast. Driver error.

This crash sucks. It's hard to tell how bad the damage is. I mean, if the frame is bent or something jammed into the engine, it could be bad. If it's all cosmetic, expensive but fixable.

Yeah I realized this probably isn’t the best first post guys [emoji1742]*[emoji3603] but it happened
