Ouch, glad you ain't dead!

A 90's Corolla or Civic would be a good learner for you and they are cheap and easy to find with 5speeds.

Hey Ruski!!! Do you go to WVU? One of my brothers does.

at least you good man thats all it maters.. you can rebuild the car but not the person..

i was about to total my car to but I got lucky last night, driving on highway around 50. When was getting close to the light i dident notice the light that change it and forgot that the car was on cruz i had to deviate the car go on the grass for like three cars but no problems. If i dident move the car from the road i would had the my all front inside the other car.

It looks like there is frame damage in the rear, what did your insurance say?

I called to let USAA know I released her to them. Soon as I find out what they'll do I'll let all of you know.

With the rear like that, the RSB is most likely crooked.
