Damn, that sux!! Maybe the judge will have sympathy on you now!! lol

In reguards to your full coverage insurance, do you have GAP, or do you owe less then the car is worth? If you answer no to both, there's a good chance you are still gonna owe once insurance pays off. I believe you'll only get wholesale value, sometimes trade in value, when you're car gets totalled..

Hey man. Glad you're alright. Sucks the car had to go, but ultimately your life is more important.

Sucks to see your car totaled, but glad that you're okay. :-) What do you think you're next chariot will be? Something AWD? Hmmm...

Time for an EVO IX! 3-4k and you get 300+ AWHP, all weather driving, and you don't even need a bodykit to look hawt! Suspension doesn't even need to be changed!

+1 on Evo.

Option 2)

Evo X (0% APR for 60 months) + $300 intake @ 26psi = 330+ AWHP all day everyday

Yes what he said. Upgrade head studs and boost controller and you're looking at 30ish psi without it blowing up!

Or

04-06 STi Dont need body kit to look good, awd with DCCD controller to play with wheel power and badass trans.

Evo X > ALL

BTW, if you ever get that car, you have absolutely no excuse to not be able to keep up w/ me on the fun roads. EVO IX's are less expensive and great, but the X's have the ultimate handling package... maybe just not as fast in a straight line. But if straight line is your concern, then you're a noob! =P

If you want to stick w/ RWD, then maybe an S2000.

Really? I did not know they could run that much since the blocks are made of aluminum. I think it was AMS (atlantic motorsports) who had a evo mr9 running at 50psi stock internals but blew it up by adding a 100shot of nos i believe. I think it was phunkinstein who told me about it.
