Default Sad News :(

well guys/gals, was waiting to say anything till i got a final word on my Z but it looks like i may have to give up on my current Z which is sitting on life support now at a body shop. kind of a freak accident really, normal day just going to work as usual and went to take the last right turn before i got to my job, no rain but roads were still a little wet from the previous nights rain so turned off VDC like i usually do since i didnt plan to be encountering anything dangerous on my short trip to work which is less than 10 miles from where i live. boy was i wrong, was going around 20mph taking the right turn and before i knew it i felt the back tires lose traction tried to turn into the slide but it was to late and i had to sit back and watch helplessly as my Z plowed into the nearest electric pole. my Z is now sitting at a nearby body shop waiting to be torn apart and checked from top to bottom, but it's not looking good....talked to body shop adjuster earlier today and according to her from just looking at the outside there is a good chance of frame damage. luckily i had GAP insurance on the Z so all the finances will be taken care of, but i was wondering....i am doing some planning for worst case scenario that it is totalled and i have a few choices as far as cars go, i was thinking of either getting another Z but this time a 2013, a 2013 mustang GT, or a scion FR-S...given the choice what would you guys do, oh and any other suggestions of good replacement cars are welcomed also. i went ahead and test drove a new 2013 Z today and i have to say i am pretty impressed by the improvements they made over my 2011, suspension feels a little softer but not to soft, the manual transmission on the one i test drove also felt alot smoother with alot softer feel to the clutch as well. going to be going car shopping with a buddy of mine this weekend so just hoping i dont pass up anything good if anyone has any suggestions on cars.
