^^ Gilly Im glad you are OK. Insurance should take care of the car. Just be careful out there and dont let this get you down. Stuff like this happens all the time. Just be more careful and drive within your limits the next time.

^^ Just remember, slow into turns and fast out. That is the safest and best way to make up time. Hope you did not get a ticket or anything. Going off road is bad as it is.

FML ? No. You're OK dude, and glad to hear it.
Be glad one of those posts didn't come out and go Senna through you.

As for the noise, get under there son, pull that wheel off and look at it carefully. Don't let this small crash now turn into a big one later.

Take care Buddy... you'll pull through.

^^ Soooooo Sorry...

One of my first thoughts when driving the S is that it is definitely the type of car that can bite you. Though it is just a car, and you are ok. Hopefully it will be good as new shortly.
