Thank you for your concern Graham. Thankfully nobody was injured and I am grateful that I got it home. It happened about a mile from my house on a road i take nearly everyday. It was rainy and the back end slipped out and into the guardrail I went. utter incompetence on my part. I feel awful. Ill make sure to get the pics up soon!
thanks

Tough break but things could be worse, obviously :-)

"Worth it?" how, exactly?
The market value is low on these cars so it wouldn't take much for repairs to exceed the cash value of the car. Not worth it.
OTOH, if you love the car and the damage isn't too terrible, it may be "worth it" to fix it from a more personal standpoint.
