Default After Only 2 Weeks

After owning my civic for only 2 weeks i was coming back from a club at 5:30 this morning and i fell asleep on the highway and hit a wire guardrail... not sure if the car is repairable or not... or if it would be cost effective to even fix it...

but on another note, if anyone in the NC area has another civic/prelude for sale for under 3k let me know.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, if the car is older than '97 I'm willing to put money on it that it's totaled.

Yeah, with that much damaged, its probably cheaper and easier tobuy another ride.

yeah, i fell asleep... i'm only 18 so no drinking... x-s on both hands makes it hard to get anything...

but yeah, its tore up the front end pretty bad... it's a 2000 model, but had a salvage title when i bought it...

gramps said it would take a completely new front end to fix it so i'm probably just gonna get another car, probably an old beater until i can get a better job, then maybe a prelude...
