^^thanks, the allstate people kept on calling me back asking if i was feeling better, that is the most excellent service that i have recieved from an insurance company, AAA (triple A) sucks at there service, all they care about is how much in damage and just the car or any property under their insurance,

and yes ++++++++++++ Toyota/Lexus is probably the only Japanese car company that uses some strong metal, they succeeded at building a really safe car, im actually driving my sister's 03' bmw 325i for the next month because i was not able to rent under my name nor drive the car, im only 17 and im turning 18 in 18 more days, but my sister is driving the rental, damn i have really great sister's, im soo thankful for them always being there for me, but the rental is an 08' nissan pathfinder, lol

i hopefully want to see if i could get my hands on a mk4 supra, but if not, i either want a 00-now gs300, 01-now is300 or 250, or 350, or a 2-door bmw 3-series, i actually dont care on which car, but as long as i am safe in it

I have a 2001 BMW 330ci that I absolutely love. Fantastic engine and the steering and sport suspension are to die for. You can not go wrong with the E46 3 series BMW's. Terrific car, period.

Thats just insane when i went up to the mountains with my friends wow they were so lucky i saw them sliding at one turn i thought they were going to crash. I personally wouldnt take a mountain seriously staying under the speed limit is a good idea because who knows what might be ahead like loose gravel.. but im glad that your still alive and it shows how tough sc's are. Wow a mk4 at 18 years old, bimmer? You guys must be rich.. Im pretty sure you can still part some stuff out taillights and trunk if they let you take it..

^^ yeah for real tho, my dad kept on telling me to stick with a lexus, and i really want either anything in the IS family, or maybe GS, or since i loved my SC so much maybe another SC, but i dont know which car is in line for me to have, i guess what ever happens, happens, but i like the 3-series bmw's they are just like lexus's( very well built, with that german steel, lol)
