Glad you are okay! It's hard to prevent if you are traveling at high speeds with worn summer performance tires.

Best of luck to you OP! Sounds like a GSF is in your future

Glad you are safe, cars can be replaced!

That other RC in the video - that's a bad one.

Thanks for sharing, and as the others have said - great news that you're OK. I hope the car is as good as new when repaired.

Well, they decided to total the Molten Pearl bc of water splashing in and mold growth

anyone wants to guess how much they paid out for the 15k RCF

Yep, the best way to get rid of a trade, especially one like RCF where the market value has ranked ircdemand is very low.

mine had 34,000 miles in it so I was thrilled to get $54,900.

time for an M3. Drive it and get some numbers on them. Super cheap if you are open to leasing and make zero sense to buy given strong residual and low money factor.

there are not many M3s across the country. How much is your lease monthly with tax (i know we have different tax rates)

RS3 looks awkwardly small from the outside. It's midget proportions, no offense to anyone. The inside and trunk is surprisingly large.

I'm actually looking at the S5 sportback 4 door. But deals are very weak since it just came out and lease deals are outrageous bc of corporate and dealership greed. If i didnt need 4 doors and rear seats, I would have gotten the Stringray or Boxster S already
