sounds like you just got scared and locked up the brakes and the car just skid. i doubt in that situation if the best of brakes would have helped much. the way it sounds the car is totaled. i just hope you had full coverage.

I hate to see that you have wrecked your car, and you hit the wall at you guess about 100? You are lucky to be alive. Maybe you can find you a new front clip and keep the car, but it sounds trashed. I bet Adder will have something to "add".

depends on what your wanting to do. if it were me i would try to recover the motor and tranny. rebuild/ build something killer. (working on a motor outside of the car is way easier and a better learning experiance. cant really mess a whole lot up.) then find a roller body cheap to stick your motor in. i bet you'd end up with something alot nicer/faster. but if you cant slow yourself down without breaks i'm assuming youwere either A)trying to f-around and you dont have the responsibilty of having a fast carB) got too scared and didnt know what to do or dont know how to drive or C)had absolutely no time to slow down from 100+mph.....

but why were you going that fast anyways? considering you are skidding and sliding around andcaught someair and slammed into a "mountain" you were going 50mph TOPS! 100 mph you are dead or damn lucky and someone likes you for whatever reason.

lets see those pics!

salvage any usable parts(personally i would take the good mechanical parts fix em up and find a roller body thats nice.)

what type of collision was it? head on, pass or driver side? rear end by chance? you might be able to fix the body.

body damage is expensive to get fixed if you dont do it yourself, maybe this would be a good learning experiance for you. junk yards are now your friends.
