Default Simple Snowy Drive Gone Bad...

so i gave my roommate a ride to pick up his girlfriend. its been snowin an blowin like crazy up here in northern KS. we were headed back to the college and the wind blew us over toward the ditch. i hit a slick spot and over-corrected.. doin somewhere between 20-30 mph, we hit a soft spot that grabbed the tires, and sent us over. we're all ok, but the Blazer may not make it :'( ive only got liability insurance, and dont have the money to have it fixed. its sickening, if youve never had the experience (and i hope you never do!)

EDIT: i'm havin trouble posting pictures. it says "a security token was not found" or somethin like that..

it happened FAST. we slid alittle and only had enough time to say, "OH, FU....". all i remember is slidin, the glass breakin beside me, and then bein upside down.

get it flipped over. does this look fixable? :/ all it needs is windshield, driver door window, and roof popped out.. but im worried that wont come out

Glad everyone is OK!! --- Find another cheap one, swap parts. Looks like you got 2 good front tires and a brush bar for a good start!

yeah...if you even able to get the roof to pop back out, you will probably never get a windshield to fit properly. i was say the same thing as blackblaze, get a fresh one and start over....
since yours is a 2000 you can just stick with 98+ and have a bunch of extra parts. plus if there is anything that you did on that one that you didnt like, you can change it on your next one...
sorry for the bad news.
