Most of those car you want to get will cause your insurance rates to go up through the roof. My 02' Red Coupe I pay some pretty high premiums on already, and I never even got into an accident. Knock on wood. Talk to the insurance companies about rates before you plan to get your next car. For me, insurance rates play a heavy role in the car I would drive.

Rep Power: 351 no, not getting a different car...I had thought there was frame damage and the car wouldn't drive the same. Well there's no frame damage the estimate was for 4,605. And my body shop is allowing me to buy my own parts. I just bought a used radiator for 117.50 instead of 260 in the estimate. An an ac condoncer for about 50 instead of 170.17.....Those are just some examples

Rep Power: 351 Helps keep the tires on the ground.....less wheel spin in turns....stiffer overall front end.
I love making U-turns now....i can speed out infront of someone and leave a huge gap

Congrats on getting the underbrace. Now you cant really bottom out anything except the brace itself. That must be alot of fun taking hard U-turns.

Rep Power: 315 Your insurance backed you up nicely. Just wait 'till they tell you what you owe them next month though.
I read like 1/3 of this entire thread and at first I only hoped for the best. I am glad to see the clean pics and your ride is almost back to normal.
Stay safe.
