I have never gotten into an accident and have been really smart with my driving. Now I F$%*ed up bad. Now I can't go to sleep cause I keep thinking about my baby. I want to cry. Please show some sympathy. 
The reason why I was driving crazy - A f#*king Silverstone gunmetal rims with silver tint M3 thought he could just cut me off.

You came to this site for sympathy? Well that was mistake number #2, #1 was you driving like an idiot. Good thing it was just your car and noone else got injured. Its dumba$$es like you that raise everyone's insurance costs good job DUMBA$$! You get what you pay for.

Stupid is as stupid does. We've all been there in one way or another. You do get credit for owning up to it. Sounds like you learned from it and that is what matters. Thank God no one was hurt. Now please stop raising insurance rates on the Z!

This is probably just common sense but, if you want to drive like a race car driver, learn how to first. If you just spent $xx,000 on a car spend the $200-$1000 on a class and track time in a (more) safe environment.
This is the best advice on the whole thread!
Salamander, I feel your pain, but take the sweet with the bitter, in this case - the sweet being that it was "only" your car you messed up. You didn't lose a limb or your sight or your life. In the end, the car is only a thing, and things can be replaced.
Next time someone wants to pass you - for God's sake, let them. Be the smart one instead of the idiot in the situation.
Years ago my sister was a passenger in a front-end collision. She went through the windshield and ended up rolling off the hood of the car. Broke her nose and an ankle, and ended up with more than 100 stitches in her face, inside her cheeks, and on her scalp.
Fortunately she lived through it and most of the scars healed very well - but lesson learned about being careful! Also about wearing seatbelts...

Glad you are ok. Could have been 10 x worst. Material things can be fixed or replaced. I know that feeling, when I was between 16-18 y/o I crashed my parents car about 3-4 times.. ha ha. Is funny now. In a couple months you'll be looking back and it will only be a learned lesson. Good luck!

Deal with it and be glad that you are given the opportunity of a lesson for life without more serious damage!
Think of it that way: If this crash would not have happened, you would have gone on until something else would have happened. Maybe that something else could have been a lot worse, with injuries to killing others in an accident...
so be happy that you sort of got a good reminder of being careful and growing up more (I am much older than you, but also think that I am sometimes risking too much for stupid reasons, and should grow up more myself too)
The most important part learn from it!
