I know how you feel. I felt like I lost a part of me when I saw her at the tow place waiting to be taken to a body shop. She was just sitting out in a field, next to a bunch of old cars with plastic around the broken glass. It was a horrible sight. I can't believe that she even recovered. but it'll be alright. Just be patient and take her to a good body shop. Also, make sure that you visit the body shop every three days or so to make sure that they are doing a good job on her.

It's tough weather for the S right now - cold and wet. Hi-Po tires, S02's especially, don't like either, throw in maybe a crown to the road and perhaps the onset of vtec and it could get sticky. Hope it all get's sorted out for you.
Holy cow Rorrick, - I've got one o' those. Is it a write off? Man, the Estoril blue is my fav too, though mine is Dakar because of the 7/94 C&D cover.

i was only goin 20 mph... thats the worst part.. completely minding my business.... honestly when i got out of the car there was a huge puddle right where i began to slide... probobly hydroplaned... did 2 complete 360's in one of the most if not the busiest roads around here.. i didnt even feel the impact.. i only heard it... i guess the s2 is really damn good in a collision... it sucks tho.. but im just thanking god that im here.. i never would think that it can happen.. but now i know it can happen to anyone.
