Default Totalled my 2003 Auto Z .....

well I live in the east coast and a week ago we had a big snow storm. The weather reports said it was going to start around 7 on tuesday in my area , so I'm like "okay , I'll go to work and be back way before it gets bad" . Big mistake , I get a speeding ticket in the morning and then when I was heading back home I was like " **** it started a lot sooner than they said it would" so I'm taking it real slow up the road and then all of a sudden I guess the auto tranny down shifted to hardly and that caused my car to veer off into the opposite traffic lane and theres a pickup coming at me but trying to slow down , however my car is still going towards him so I counter steer to straighten the car out and I'm practically going completely sideways up the road and then I manage to straighten the car out but it now veers to the right and tires screeching so then I counter steer again and now going up the road sideways but I'm back in my lane . Then I'm like"just get the car into the grass and stop ". so then my car is starting to slide nicely into the direction of the grass but there was a freaking pole and had my car just slid a bit further up the road I would've passed by the pole and been able to stop in the grass. So my car hit the pole with the left headlight side and its now pretty much totalled even though I didnt initially think the damage was too bad and just mainly external damage. Well the insurance agent said it was a total loss so I got back a check for pretty much almost for what I paid for the car .

Today however I just went and got a 2007 6spd touring z in silver and have vowed to never ever try to go somewhere and come back before an uncoming storm .
