Ran off of road...what kind of damage am I in for?
While driving on backroad bend, mack-truck (why was it on this road????) in opposing lane couldn't take it and compensated with my lane...long story short: had to run off side of road (about 1.5 ft drop). Luckily only one side of car submerged so was able to make it out and drive off. However, I heard some deep snapping sounds on the way down. Can't get a hold of my garage guy, am alone, and crying. Please...help.
Here are some pictures:
I don't think that's supposed to be there. Emits high-pitched sound when rotating.
Part of supercharge hanging....
Hole in fender? Tire eroding plastic.
Another view of the hole.
Something broken?

Don't worry the worst that can happen is a cracked front suspension cradle, just drill a 1/8 in hole at the end of the the crack and drive on. Unless the crack goes from front to rear of cradle and I can't see it happen.
Fortunately bend was long enough and no one behind me. Saw his front left drop almost drop in but they skimmed it. I turned around to make sure truck was ok, but had pulled off by the time I made it back.

Submerged? Really? Damn, water in car...deep enough to cover hubs?

Absolutely, all anyone here can do is speculate, and that's a little ridiculous.
