There goes another one. It seems like every other thread on here is an accident thread. I feel for you though. I concur what the masses say about going through your insurance. It only makes sense.

I stated above that i have installed snowtires. And yes i didnt hit the brake as I have been in that position before and know it would send me more sideways. Right as i countersteeed i was at the curb. I know that with our cars im better off getting back on the gas to pull myself out of the slide but there was just no room for that

Thanks for that ill go check that out right now. Thats what i thought it was by process of ililimination. The resevoir is empty now. The better questions though is where is it leaking from. Hopefully its just some type of line rather than a mechanical piece. The damage was sustained in the front more towards the driverside.

my buddy a few years back wrecked his ralliart filed insurance claim and he had the accolade body kit ordered. He just went to the body shop and told them he wanted the bodykit and they ordered it instead of the stock pieces/ Not sure if every shop will do that but. . .

But really sorry to hear about that man.

You pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month for insurance, why would you not want to report it?

Sounds like $6000+ of damage... Bents strut tower bar, body is tweeked! Make sure when you take it to get fixed that they check all the suspension on that side, the lower A-arms are aluminum and tweek very easily!!! Also check all your motor mounts for damage. I use to do insurance adjustments, and had adjusted a Evo that hit a curb at 40mph, his car total was 4500 but had a 2500 suppliment because the suspension on one whole side had to be replaced...

Good lock on getting your car fix!

Thanks the car is home safely in my garage. I just took some pics and im attempting to put them up. Does a leak in the ACD fluid have a direct correlation to my ACD pump? Is the pump located inside the bumper on the driver side because I have a pump which although it isnt hanging i can tell its loose?

My strut tower bar isnt bent theres a bar spanning across the front of the car that the bumper and radiator tie into. That piece is bent. It seems like the more i go down to look at it there the more i find wrong with the car! ill try to get the pics up asap.
