Car thread

after finally finishing up my 350 build this happened;

I was headed towards my girlfriends which is down a 65mph highway.  It was raining pretty steadily but not too heavily, I was in the furthest left lane traveling about 60mph in 6th gear (my car makes ~530whp), cruise control is on and both my hands are on the wheel because I know my tires currently have 0 tread on them and honestly I'm trying to get as much traction as possible.  Well that failed terribly and for a second I felt the rear tires lose all traction and immediately afterwords the car throws, and I mean throws, itself 90 degrees to the right.  I try to correct the skid but it was so violent and quick I was already halfway through my first spin before even trying to correct.  After completing the first spin the car flipped twice and stopped when it hit the start of a concrete median.  

Currently waiting on an estimate of repair but I don't believe the car will be totaled.  I've already made my mind up that the car will be sold upon repairs simply because as much fun as it is, keeping my senses to a point that I'm able to competently drive is as a DD simply isn't going to happen.  If anyone here is interested in purchasing feel free to shoot me a PM, I'm not entirely sure what I'll ask for it but I'll definitely be losing quite a bit of investment.

Will post before/after pics after I get back from the body shop tomorrow.

Regardless, glad you came out okay.

eh, I looked at the stock pictures of that car, it's a bit more ricey than I thought, but it's it's still not that bad. The wheels aren't stock, but they're fine; the car is lowered, however. There's a different front bumper too.

no car from 95 deserves to be 31k :\
no matter how nice it is. even a brand new built engine put into it wouldnt be worth the money

That Skyline had to be manually imported by the owner since they were illegal in the USA. Probably had to conform to tons of standards and it is also very rare, so the owner must think someone will pay a lot for a legendary (on this continent) car that doesn't occur normally here.
