Yesterday it was so nice and the recent rain had let up so I thought I would take the 914 out for a drive.

As I was getting onto the express way, one of the circular on ramps I felt the rear get really light and begin to oversteer, I tried to correct and must have over corrected because I ended up eating the gaurd rail.
I couldn't have been going very fast but the guard rail was about 2-3 inches above the top of the bumper and just went right through the front fender.
The whole drivers quarter is toast and I am hoping that it can be fixed but there is a lot of damage and I'm not so sure.

So now I guess I have to see what if the insurance thinks its toast or fixable
Any advice from those who have dealt with insurance on this kind of situation before?

I'll add pics of the carnage later but here it is just a week before.

I cant get this sick feeling out of my stomach (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)
