Thats a bummer dude, you had a really nice car too. Thank god for insurance though. I got rearended last November by some old **** with no license, or insurance, and had cataracts on both eyes as well. Not to mention I was sitting at a yield sign waiting for traffic to pass. And if that wasnt enough my insurance went up too

Holy crap man, I'm glad to hear you are ok.
Sorry about the car Could be worse though.

Assuming most of the performance parts are ok, you can salvage it for a new build
or sell and build something completely different. In that sense, you can think of it
an an opportunity.

Probably because of the rear tires he had on it and it was raining...
