Keep us posted on what you decide to do I will say this though to help you narrow your choices...

Buy Japanese
Lease German
Rent American
Ignore Korean

Yea, I felt so stupid haha. I take pride in my driving ability. I'm starting to re-think how good of a driver I actually am lol.

Good guide in case I need to buy another car. I'll keep it in mind. Maybe I can find a old women whose husband past and she has his R35 in the garage and she doesn't know the value of it and I can grab it for 10k and keep the 15k for maintenance....

A man can dream right?

that sucks. even with vdc off, throttle up condition should've corrected your yaw...even if it's not a graceful recovery.

GL with the repairs.

A 25k 335i is gonna break... After 50k miles those cars turn to shít. And if you wanna mod it... Get a trash can, sell your house, and any other possessions, get $100 bills and burn them as fast as you can...

(I know the tuning chips are cheap, but those turbos are the size of a baby's fist, spool them long enough, and they'll be toast. And hope that's all that breaks)

Only pic I have, the curb was super high. Thats why I think the frame is tweeked.

Doesn't really look that bad... At all... And you told me that no airbags were deployed too...

My vote is that you're going to stay with us...

After looking at the damage I don't think its enough to get it totalled but thats only if the frame etc is straight. Good luck and I am just glad you are ok. One thing about Gs though is they are a very safe car. If I was to have an accident I would want to be in a G.
