Dude, that would be an awesome way to turn 21!
Man, when I was 21 my birthday present was not so great. I had spent years restoring a 60's Italian car to near-showroom condition (with mods of course) and two idiot teenage girls in a Volkswagen Rabbit rear-ended my car (them, 50mph, me zero) and completely totaled it, plus gave me a nagging back injury. My parents took the $10,000 in insurance money and used it to pay bills, so I got a crushed car and a bad back. My mom called it a "miracle" to my face because it let her pay some bills. I didn't quite see it that way.
And yeah, I started over and built another car that I sold years later for about $10,000.
