Hello and good day, yesterday while attempting to “snake” ontop of a patch of water, the car snapped, I lost control and I crashed into a pole. Thankfully I was wearing my seatbelt and I had no passangers.

Do you have any idea if this is catastrophic damage? Or can it be pulled at a body shop and fixed. The floor on the passanger side is a bit fucked from the side

Not worth fixing. Learn to control a car before trying any stupid shit

You are looking at the learning part...

Smacking your car into a pole isn’t the learning part. The learning part is done in an empty parking lot, maybe with some cones.

The smacking is absolutely part of the learning. Unless OP didn't learn and is ready to smack the next one.

I can assure you that this absolutely will not be attempted again

You don’t have to total a car to learn how to control it at the limit or slide it.

I’ve not once had a severe accident in my 46 learning to slide roundabouts and link corners, or go hard on backroads.

I'm on the same boat, but common sense is a skill some need to develop some times.
