Lokks like all the advice i have been getting isnt gonna matter for a while because I crased my car today. It was raining and i hydroplained and spun out on the freeway. when i spun out no one hit me, i was lucky. But after i stopped I was facing the wrong dirrection and a Van had stopped in front of me. I thought I was ok until the van got rear endded and then hit me head on. I have a hood, passenger fender, front bumper and head light assembly to replace now. The ggod thing is that i didn't get hurt and I could drive the car home. If I get digital pics I will post them for everyones sympathy. I need it.

Sorry to hear that. Similar to what happend to me only I had a tire blow out. Nothing major until I went into the ditch. Rolled over 2 times. Noone hurt! Glad to hear you are okay. That is the only thing that matters. Cars can be replaced or in your case fixed.

Dont feel bad I totaled my first 3rd gen only a month after I got it. Same thing I hydroplaned during a REAL bad storm. Maybe cause I was young I think mostly because of the car. Anyway dont let it put a hault to your plans. I bought another one only 2 weeks after the first one was totaled. Good luck with it.

Jesus!! thats scarey...Month after I bought mine too! But I am not lucky enough to get another one so quickly. I have to wait on the insurance and then Find another one.
I was really sad though when I wrecked mine. I took pictures and I can't even look at them now. It just pisses me off. Just take it easy tomorrow. You are gonna be sore. Maybe you wont. I wasn't!...but a week later I was in Extreme pain because a nerve over one of my ribs swelled up causing alot of pain!! Turns out I had a broken rib. I also went through 2 days of shock! I cussed out everyone I talked to. The cop threatened to take me to jail because I pissed him off. Just relax and worry about the car Later. Sounds lame but take my advice!
