I ain't trying to be a d!ck, but, never drove on that road often? So, you know that nasty right hand turn is there, you got to be careful on curves, cause all it takes is one time and your life might be over. I'm glad to hear that everyone walked away. As goes for 4th. gen F-bodies, there's a kajillion cheap priced ones out there, so, take your time picking one out.

They will typically pay off book value (closer to trade in than retail) without a fuss. Minus whatever deductable you have of course. Since you owe money on it, it is very likely your full coverage includes collision as most loans require it. If it doesn't, you will get nothing for the car. Hopefully that is the case (that you have it), I have seen people who think they have full coverage (and there is always something else you could be insured for, it never ends) and end up getting boned when they are hit by an uninsured driver.

Wow, my buddy did almost the same thing in his STi, except it was less his fault, roads were actually cold (november in illinois) and it was pouring. And it was a tree on the front lawn of some house.
He got a ticket for an estimated speed of 40 in a 25. Some dumb-*** witness watching t.v. said it looked like he was doing 60. I was sitting in the car, it was 38 mph.
also he got a ticket for improper lane usage..... whatever that means in an accident like that.
Consider yourself really lucky, no tickets helps huge with insurance struggles.

WTF? Cold roads? I look outside to what I navigate, a few inches of snow, freezing rain, crazy *** drivers who can't drive... that's just... well... all I can say is good thing you or anyone wasn't seriously hurt, but regardless of if you don't know a road, you were pretty excessive in speed for the conditions.
