I'm 26, not really too worried about it. My wife bought it for me as a gift 4 months ago so she's the one really pissed off. Geico told me the car is totaled so I'm getting 10,300 for it when I bought it for 10,900. To the jackass that said I was being a showoff, it's called going to work in the morning and I was 4th gear going 35. Water freezes, you can predict driving in the snow but you can't predict the black ice.

if theres black ice on the road, the car will just keep going straight, you really have to do something stupid like swerve to either side or gas it more to get the car sideways. fail be with you.

Aaahh, that sucks man.... I think I've seen you driving around before. I go up to sterling all the time. I just got my 350z, too. Have you decided what you were going to do with the check from the insurance company?
