Destroyed my front bumper and splitter

So I had a slight mishap tonight and ended up crashing into a very large headstone in a cemetary. Needless to say my front bumper and splitter is trashed. I guess now would be a great time to upgrade to the Z1 front bumper. I already found the DIY with part numbers, but I am not in a very good mental state right now and cannot even process everything. I am not planning on sharing this life experience with anyone I know. I really just needed to vent.....

Sorry to hear what happened... I'd like to know more about how you ended up in the cemetery though!

Well, outside of my town there is a road that has an S curve. Pretty low speed but I was unaware that the road was wet. I got on exiting the first curve and the back end kicked out. I think between the road being wet and the oil on the road, it was like ice. I went into the opposite ditch up the embankment and hit a fridge size headstone. Knocked it off it's base and hung the front of my car on the base. I'm heading to the airport to fly out for work. Won't have pics until this weekend. Although I may have my buddy take it to the shop this week so I don't have to look at it. I'm lucky the air bags didn't go off. Oh and I'm fine. I was probably only doing 15-20.

I guess you have a new nickname for your car at least. Undertaker! Glad you're fine. So what now with the headstone? Did you leave a note?
