You aren't being a s.a., you bring up a very good point. Probably any tire would have lost traction in loose gravel, but I will tell you this......these stock wheels are not anything in the traction department compared to the Nittos. What is really scary is I had a similar incident on the interstate right after I put the new GT500 wheels on, and I was able to regain control of the vehicle. This time I was not so lucky. I would say this all happened because of 25% poor traction and 75% major user error. 
glad it's looking cosmetic. time to chill out on the street for you

Shella, it looks like you got off easy with nothing more than paint & body work so thank God for that because it could of been far worst for you and the car. I'm very glad you or anyone else was not hurt. And don't worry you will be doing the "happy dance" the day you get her back from the body shop and she is all new again!

That SUCKS! Glad you are ok, make sure you post lots of pictures when you do get it fixed up 
Hard to say, but it is just a car, and the fact that you and no one else was hurt is the good thing.
The car can be fixed

Shella, was not expecting to see something like this at all this morning. The main point here is that you weren't hurt and the car can be repaired. It looks mostly cosmetic so Im fairly certain Skunk will come out OK and with probably a few little unexpected add-ons. Again, happy you ar all right.

I am not certain if this hood can be repaired or not. The pictures are such poor quality, you can just barely see any damage at all to the current hood. There is a crack in the passenger side front lip. Either way....you have to know what hood is going back on Ol' Skunky..... hehe.....
