I agree that it's a controllable speed but at 35mph you are going 51.33 feet per second. You can't react and stop in 1/3 of a second.

Damnnnnnn...that's nasty. I got into one back in september. Cost $10k to repair, but it definitely wasn't as bad as this. I'm glad you're ok though. Hope you have a good insurance.

Yah, that with Krazy Glue and you are back in business.

Same **** happen when I tried to avoid an idiot at an intersection...swerve to the left, then to the right to correct, but at the same time I was swrving back to right, there is bend/corner, and the car started slipping (wet, rainny day). I managed to avoid ditch, three (bigass) oak tress, a fire hydrant; I took out the 45mph sign that smashed the windshield, a mailbox, shrubs, and a blue recycling bin. I felt like real-life grand theft auto racing.

In this kind of a situation, you're going to be found at fault, right?

Doing a 180 at 35mph your speed had to of been reduced significantly. So I'm thinking you might of been going a little faster.

My sympathy meter isn't registering. Does this post "i just turned 17 3 months ago...and i have my g.....allot of kids drive fast and agressive, but we are not stupid about it like going 60 mph in a neighborhood or anything." strike a cord? Paulie, you've got to find something real in your life will help you mature into a strong confident adult. In the meantime, forget about cars. Seriously, you've got to stay away from fast cars because when you wreck your first car within 5 months of "ownership" you've been found incompetent and you need to start over with something a little milder. Sorry to be harsh but you're at an age where teen drinking and driving claims so many lives. I hope you can heed my warning to avoid drinking and driving AND don't get into a car driven by a drunk!

yo argue with insurance they will give you the 350, show them pics or something if you have some from before.. they tried to do that to me once, and I was like wtf and showed them pics and stuff and they gave me back the values they deducted. Good luck with the new G, its sad to say but insurance companies may look at this and say you were wreckless etc, even though u were avoiding another car, its almost like they want you to hit into the other car just to prove that he was there.. sad sad scenario

I had hoped that in the time between your original posts and this update post your grammar and spelling would have improved. Oh well...
