You mean the PAL (non-NTSC) versions. Germany is just the one that Wikipedia mentions. There is a third title for the movie as well, but we won't go there.

You're lucky that they did that for you. I would've NEVER added your car to my insurance @ $8k/year. The deal that I have with my kids is I will cover their insurance until they get their first ticket or their fault accident. If that occurs, their insurance is then on them.

lets be real here. the kid drives "his" parents car and crashed it. why he is even asking what "he" should do is absurd. You should have 1st got some skills b4 stepping into the seat of a spectacular car like the Z. Now...(and don't get me wrong i am very grateful) my 350z has gone up in price, and for that i thank you. Final out come is that you are fine to smash another car soon enough. as far as what to do there is really only 3 choices. Fix it, total it, and or buy it back and sell it. Part out as well so to say. Up to your mommy. Anything else to talk about is not worth it.

The Dr had locked the thread. lol

It's idiotic to judge all by the actions of a few. I have been stopped several times in the NISMO. Was doing around 90 in a 70 and only got a warning. Have owned the car for over 3 years now and have been stopped several times and have never gotten a ticket. I have, however, received 1 ticket for speeding in my wife's CRV. For MOST police officers, what you drive plays no part in the decision to issue a ticket. Are there some bad apples? Of course there are. Did some of you deserve to get pulled over and written a citation? Well, I'll leave that one up to you to make an honest assesment.

Just got a Mustang 40th anniversary simply because the weather was hot and he wanted a convertible. Whatever.
