I lost control of it on a turn on a wet road, not going very fast - don’t know if I did something dumb like hit the brakes or turn to make it worse, but it did a 180 and then barrel rolled all the way around and back to its wheels.

    It’s my first vehicle, I didn’t understand how sparse my insurance is, and nothing of this damage is covered.

    is this salvageable? The passenger side A-pillar is bent.

    Still thinking about it.
    Hi. Glad you didn't get hurt too bad apparently. I'd salvage it as a dedicated off-roader maybe but it would be a major project to properly put that back on the street, in my opinion.

    Welcome to TW! Yikes that much damage on an 18-year-old vehicle is going to cost way more than it's worth.
