Default i hit a curb and look what happened....

so today about 2 AM i went out to get something to eat at jack N the box, and on the way home i was at in intersection and made a left turn and i guess i made the turn to fast, and my car got out of control, and i lost control of the wheel, and hit the curb at about 25mph and this is what happened...

let me know if this is really bad, can insurance make all this dissapear and make it like new again? im worrying alot cuz when i look at it i think that it never going to get fix or something.. but yea those are the pics below..

Yikes hard to see. Insurance will cover that just make sure you take it to a good place to repair. Buddy of mine hit a tree with his g35 and his wheel looked liek that. Got it fixed at a cheap place and it drives really bad now. sorry to hear about that did tcs kick in?

Its repairable. Whether or not it ever drives the same again is another matter.

Im just curious what you did exactly. How fast you entered that bend to do that!

So much for the midnight munchies. That sucks, but it should be easily repaired by a competent shop.
Next time raid the 'fridge, and best of luck with getting her back to her old self.
