Why not just ask your mom what she wants to do?

What's the package? Do you have the touring seats? I'm building a racing sim rig and I'd like the orange/mesh seat.

EDIT: On second thought, what's your mom's e-mail? I'll just ask the owner.

This is why you get BFG KDWs, Have you taken it to a show so they can tell you how badly its damaged? I have my doubts with the tow guy....

did you have the VDC on? this almost happened to me turning 30 MPH cause the damn vdc.

Honestly you should weight your pros and cons to fixing it or selling it.

Sell the car for parts/salvage, then buy yourself a really cheap, old, domestic car to drive until you can afford both the car and the insurance yourself.
True true. part it out, buy another or buy something else.

I don't know why everyone is hating on him. I bet almost all of you were covered under your parents insurance when you were younger..

Only when I got too many speeding tickets and my insurance soured to $8k/year. Then they covered my car. . . and took the car away from me. The car was in my name (title, reg, etc.), so it was MY car, but the "deal" for them to insure it was that I could no longer drive it any more. Best lesson I ever had (relative to car stuff).

As opposed to the 'front' tail lights?

Part it out and sell the rest for scrap. Maybe buy a ragged out Z that you can use your usable parts on.

Not sure I agree with this statement. I have stock size Invos and they are fine in the rain at highway speeds. I have never once "skid" or lost control in the rain (unless purposely trying to)

And OMG to guy above me paying 20% interest. Thats horrible. I am 20yrs old I pay 6.5% interest. Car is all my own in my name, my loan, my insurance. I don't know how different the states is for loans etc. but 20% is insane!

Ouch. I'm 20 too, but I saved up cash, and got some good insurance money from my trailblazer when I got hit. 20% would be hell haha
