Going too fast around a left-turn gradual corner. Felt the end start to swing around, so I compensated right, and then left again. Ended up rotating the back around to the front so I was 170* from the direction I was originally going. Slid sidways over the curb, into those small 'designer' trees, and then into some additional shrubbery right next to some condos

After a bit, cops came, took lots of pics of my car, property damage, breathalyzer test, etc. Gave me the case number, citation coming in the mail, set out flairs, I called a tow truck, and then waited for it to come. Luckily, I only walked away with airbag rash on my arms. Who knows the hit to the pocketbook yet.
Tomorrow, I'll take pics in the light of the damage. Basically the driver and passenger doors on the left side had a small tree slide into them -- windows didn't break though. Also the body below the door is creased in. The front left wheel is wrecked, not sure about the control arms, etc. Front bumper got touched, since the hood doesn't quite close, but it doesn't appear the front corner/area moved in a lot. This type of thing even worth repairing / repairable?
Tomorrow, after taking pics of the damage I'm going to try and get a few estimates from local body shops (anyone got a recommendation for one in northern Seattle?). Right now I'm considering a few things:
1) Repair the body damage
2) Buy another 91-94 turbo car and swap my upgraded components in. Sell the leftovers / part out.
3) Buy a newer Subaru... haven't really looked around yet, but would consider most things which are 'sporty'. Part out the old car.
