My friends & I always go through malibu canyons (For Cali peeps Topanga, Mulholland, Las Flores, Stunt, Tuna, etc.; all up & down PCH) But recently I got bored with going through the same ones so many times.
This time, I decided to go up Latigo canyon. Everything was going great. I was amped about tearing through fresh roads, pitch black, blasting music, etc. Anyway, I realized the inevitable & slid my car straight through the thickest patch of mud next to a runoff by a cliff. I slid right into the gaurd rail still traveling at like 20mph.

Car in previous form:
The amount of lucky involved is stupid. No airbag deployment, no serious chassy damage, and no injuries. I was even able to drive home from the accident. Even the mugen lip is still in tact. I ordered a bumper & fender & headlight off eGay and it came to less than $200 shipped, and the shop is charging me $600 just for framework. Thankfully, I kept my stock hood. The car should be back to stock by saturday. Not a cheap endeavor ($800) but its a lesson well learned. I might stick to auto-x with cones from now on.
DONT CRASH YOUR CAR. PERIOD.
