not saying you were being reckless, but there's no debating that a little driver education can go a long way.

mostly this... i still slide around on roads that i know but one time, i was driving on unknown roads, i almost flew into concrete because there were so many rocks on the ground my car just went straight when i went for a turn. never again.

I'll take some more detailed pictures when I get home.

The wheel is about $360, front cover $300, fender $200, another $100 for the fender liner and bolts that are no longer good, another $100 for the marker lamp/bezel/hardware, if the headlamp is damaged that's another $800. I am sure there some suspension damage there, OEM struts are $210, and the control arm and knuckle are a $385 combo. Add paint cost and labor I'd say you're looking at a $4000 job without major suspension/frame damage, and well over $5500 if there is. If you're able to pay out of pocket for this, I salute you, but it's probably a better idea to just take the hit on your premiums and let insurance take care of it.

TL;DR Its well under $10,000, but you should let your insurance take care of it.

I like your "works" sticker even though it doesn't work.

Isn't like the first thing they teach you in driver school to keep going straight if you miss your turn and then just turn around? And I think the sole purpose of said advice is to avoid things such as this...

I had some shit happen like this to my Celica though back in the day. No bumper/frame damage but plenty of axle damage. That was $1500 with wholesale/dealer cost parts and a reduction in labor costs though sooo...

I would go to insurance but don't try to lie about it, it is quite apparent what happened.

Unless you know a good shop because there is some serious suspension damage there I wouldn't try DIY unless I was a mechanic.

Never understand why people don't use their insurance. That is what it is for. They won't raise your rates that much if you put in a claim, heck some policies have a no increase policy. Just don't commit fraud.

You pay all that in premiums and then when you actually need to use it you decide not to?

Baffling.

You buy insurance to cover accidents like this. The way that wheel is folded under I am betting on some frame damage and well as bent suspension parts. That is addition to the wheel, fender and bumper will make this fairly expensive. My advice is to report it to the insurance company, pay your deductible, get it fixed properly and learn from your mistake. Be thankful that there wasn't someone standing or walking next to that fire hydrant. Be safe.

Lesson well learned. Gonna be more careful if I'm allowed to keep driving

This is the biggest reason not to make last minute turns if you're moving too fast.

I did this same thing to my tC about 5 years ago. There was no body damage except for a broken mud guard. The axle was broke and everything, my wheel looked a lot like yours and it was $4,000 at the dealership to get it fixed.

Oh man. That sucks! would it have been cheaper to do the repair elsewhere?

or just gas it too hard? Also what mode were you on?

Just trying to get some info here, so I make sure I won't do the same.

What ever happened to driving slower...like on a public road? If this is your only car, don't make the same mistake I made eons ago...soooooo not worth it! $$$
