Hydro Plaining.. :(
Hydro plained last Saturday when it was raining & and hit the metal railing on the freeway.. Luckily I wasn't hurt nor I hit anyone else.. here are some photos. Now I'm in a rut. I don't know if it's fixable! So the car is completely stock, except for megan racing coilovers. Interior is extremely clean! Anyways I can either sell it for I don't know how much or part out? What do you guys think?

That's SUPER fixable. Find a guy that knows a little about body work. Hit that **** with the tack welder and reverse hammer. A little high quality bondo. Spray. Enjoy. Oh and you need a new tail light 
or sell it to me for say....$500?

Dude, You'll be fine, if your a real cheapo...
get a happer, and start reversing the damage as much as you can, My dad used to do that to all his cars... He was able to bang out like 90% of the dent. The rest you can fill with high quality bondo if it really needs it. and sand it a little, and paint match and ur finito.

first off next time you hydroplane just hit the clutch, snow rain hitting it to hard on a corner that usually will get your car out of the uncontrollable actions, then you can put it back where it needs to go...
other than that a new bulb and some red tape and you are on the road till you find a body shop and some parts...
so cal residents have NO BUSINESS driving in the rain, stay your hippie asses at home and let us guys from out of state have a ****** blast on the highway, there is no reason you can't drive the same way you do on dry roads as wet roads, the first 15 min is the 'worst' time of the rain, well not always here, drainage does suck in some places, but if you know how to drive you will be okay...
i do have to admit though last saturday was pretty bad, i went to san diego from san clemente in my FD and was pretty nervous, it was raining so hard I couldn't see 100 ft in front of me... leg was a little tired from covering the clutch for an hour LOL

So what happened exactly? Were you driving crazy or anything? Hit a bump?
