my first wreck.... what to do?
had my first wreck about two hours ago.......... sharp banked turns was going about 40mph and there is gravel on the out side of the road....... tire hit the gravel and spun out........ dont remeber much just doing 3/4 a dougnut and slidding sideways into a mail box and down into a ditch........ mailbox dented side of the car took out side view mirror and it swung up and took a chuck out of my windshield.... windshield also cracked about middle....... tire came off the rim.......... put on spare and took it to wally world to have them put the tire back together and back on.......... needing a new car, should i still replace the windshield or just put the money towards a new car?

if its only a mirror, windshield, and a dent (is the dent on the door or front fender, or is it on the quarter panal), i would just fix the broken/dented parts, ...hows the underside look...and whats the condition of the rest of the car

well to be honest if i looked at the underside i wouldnt know what i was looking at............the dent is on the door....... little past the middle toward the rear view mirror...... if that makes since,
how much would it cost to get dent fixed and mirror? should i dare ask about a new windshield?..........................
edit: as far as i know all the damage was on driver side door........ im really suprised rim wasnt bent cause it dug about a 5 in deep maybe 6 ft long hole in the ground (tire was off the rim so rim was just dragging on the ground)
