You are not the first one to do this unfortunately

Keep us posted on what you decide to do I will say this though to help you narrow your choices...

Buy Japanese
Lease German
Rent American
Ignore Korean

:icon18:

Yea, I felt so stupid haha. I take pride in my driving ability. I'm starting to re-think how good of a driver I actually am lol.

Good guide in case I need to buy another car. I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I can find a old women whose husband past and she has his R35 in the garage and she doesn't know the value of it and I can grab it for 10k and keep the 15k for maintenance....

A man can dream right?

(Somehow every -35i owner I know has had their car lemmoned... And by every, I mean all 5 of them... Oh yeah... And one of theirs caught fire on the freeway and melted itself to the god damn pavement

But he wants used. They aren't fixed on something old.

UPDATE:
They are gonna put it on something that pulls the frame and make sure its spot on. So far they're thinking it wont have to be totaled out and it'll take about 3weeks worth of work. Also my insurance is replacing all my mods and even replacing my bent wheel. I'm pretty happy but... scared of how it will affect my monthly dues to them. I'm sure they're gonna sky rocket :(

Woot, CG's! minus the skyrocketing insurance. You don't have accident forgiveness? Well, depending how all this turns out with your insurance, it will be a true test to how their service is when you need them. After all, how much money have you given them all these years?

you'd likely come out better that way. when I totalled my 09 R1, i had $3000 in parts on it, and my insurance only paid me 20% of that. so i only got $600 for all my parts i had bought probably 2 months before the wreck. my exhaust on my bike cost more than what they paid me =\

she was a beauty too =(

I agree. It'll also give me a chance to repaint the headlights and the grill (going with my oem color). Possibly doing an iron man mod to the headlights as well :tup:

Frame puller... Yeahhhh... I'd push for a total... You can't just stretch it back and say it's going to be as strong...
