Angry Red Cobalt SS/SC VS. Cement Barrier

So heres the deal. I was on the highway Saturday afternoon while it was raining. I was going about 60 and i start to spin due to hydroplaning. My first reaction was to let off the gas. When i did, my car instantly turned broadside and shot across the passing lane and hit the cement barrier head on. Then i spun around and hit the back of the car off the same barrier. My car continues to spin out of control and eventially jumps the median and ends up on the other lanes of the highway where the crash came to a stop. Here is the aftermath

dang dude sorry to see that, you alright?

side note- its probably going to be totaled so if you are going to part it out can i buy the trunk lights?

and if it is totalled i highly suggest you consider selling this motor to a couple guys who are looking for one on this site

Depending on what the buyback price is, my brother might buy it so he can swap out his LS. Highly doubtful though

Sorry to see that. My stock tires are so bald this worries me everytime I drive in the rain. What junkyard is that at? Hopefully they let you buy it back because it looks like you could sell a lot of parts off of it.

Cement Barrier 1 Cobalt SS 0

I take it you don't have LSD? Not that it would have helped in the crash anyways. Did the car end up shutting the motor off after impact. That's what I am I curious about because you won't have any sterling control whats so ever.

Whatever junkyard this ends up in, you should go get the lip and sideskirts, and sell them to HackAbuse, or just go get them right now, I'm sure the insurance company won't notice them missing
