I am so sorry to hear about your car. But at least you are alright.
I had my first TA totaled by a blind old lady turning in front of me when I had only owned the car for 3 months. I was able to get another one but I definitely regret not buying my first one back.
I hope everything works out and you are able to find an acceptable replacement.

Sounds like the dog stopped barking and finally bit huh.
Maybe you should hold off the performance cars before you kill someone...
Sorry to be a reality check.

yeah but your gonna try stuff in a sports car, The way to do it is in a empty area or track but its hard to get to a track often, If I wanna risk my own life thats my choice, and plus it wasnt even bad it just totaled my car which is a pretty easy thing to do

i hope to never "just" total any car.
happy to hear your alright man. not bashing u, just take it as a lesson
I dropped my sports bike (modded GSX-R 600) in the canyons almost 6 years ago. I fucked myself up pretty good but i walked away from it. Just last week i finally got back on a bike. and its a slow *** one at that.
Cant beat 100+MPG

I learned my lesson for sure, especially since I may not be able to get another car, cuz of money issues.

Bummer man, And yeah there will be people to call ya a dumb ***, it took my sister going 63mph on a rural highway in CO, speed limit is 60, and some douche ran a stop sign, that was the only car that we had totalled, her toyota matrix got rear ended last year, did $7,500 in damage and they still fixed it, I was hit in high school guy was going 35-40 ish and slammed into the back of my 92 explorer he was driving a 90 for bronco. About $500 from totalling the car.
From my experience it is not easy to total a car, but then again you are right you were doing it in an environment to which you were the only one really to get hurt, stupid? Yes, but we all have done something stupid with our sports cars at some point even the nay sayers, only difference is we were lucky enough to not be in your shoes, but you are lucky this time to be alive and able to learn from it is all.
Again glad you are ok, real bummer about the car, but it can be replaced.
