As I mentioned in the OP, I got into an accident on Cinco de Mayo. It was monsooning rain outside and I had disabled traction control to do some drifting on empty roads. After we left the area, I forgot to enable TC again and when I realized it was already too late. Felt the back end break loose while on the highway, tried to save it, tapped rear bumpers with a car in the lane next to me which spun me opposite direction to a full 360°. Lesson learned! The car sustained damage to the rear passenger side bumper and quarter panel, I lost the skirt from the drivers side, and had a crack on the wheel well of the drivers side fender. Was totally bummed but happy it wasn’t worse because honestly it was best case scenario outcome of all the possibilities that could’ve happened, aside from saving it entirely.

Decided to pay out of pocket for repairs since I was nervous insurance would total out my car since the damage was near the fuel tank and wasn’t sure if it had any frame damage. This choice led me to quite the predicament… I ended up with some type of Ponzi scheme shop called ‘Big E Customs’ and it was a NIGHTMARE to say the least. I definitely want to do a sub thread about shop experiences where I’ll discuss more in depth about what happened. Thankfully, I managed to salvage the situation and big shout out to Doug at ‘Quality Auto Body’ for helping me right that wrong.
