because we have a right index finger and there is a button.

Sorry to hear about your loss and i am glad your ok!! From first hand experience, cars can never be the same after a accident. No one else can tell when riding in the car but there will be small things that you notice. For me it was my clutch that never felt the same to me again. There were a few other things, but that was the biggest thing for me. If you can afford it just get a new one.

your biggest problem is going to be the expense. your insurance company will be putting out a ton of money, and you'll have 2 citations against your license. most likely your current insurance company is going to drop you. if you buy another sports car and add it all up...................20,000 or more claim + 2 citations + dropped by insurance company + new sports car =

I just realized i said wheel well and not specified rear or front. Maybe that was the confusion.

That pic alone screams, "TOTALED!"

Totalled as everyone else has said, Ur insurance is gonna nail u to the wall when it comes time to renew if they dont drop u. If i was u id take a defensive driving course just to show that u do have some remorse and its on ur record so that maybe that will help with insurance. But glad ur ok and manning up as other people have said.

The reason you would turn off traction control. If you were on snow or sand or a slick surface and you got stuck or can not move. Turning off the traction control would enable your tires to spin your way out of it.

I doubt it will matter. that helps offset tickets, but his insurance company will be putting out a ton of money. that's what's going to do him in. though the course will help with his license. if not, (depending on the state) he could be in a situation where 1 or 2 more ticket and he looses his license.

because we have fingers ...buttons keep some of us from picking our noses while driving. You wonder why there are buttons on the steering wheel now, too?

Man that sucks. I just got mine two weeks ago and this is a good reminder to me of the power it has. Glad you are ok.

[49ersXXIX]

damn man that sucks big time. good thing nothing happened to you. i would have felt stupid as well too. good guy he came and checked on you.

[Runawayhacker]

I know I can't stop everyone from showing off like I did. I mean, it comes with the car. But please guys, IF you have to do it, learn from me and

1. Don't put ANYONE ELSE in danger. If you want to hurt yourself, that's your call.

2. Do it somewhere safe. In the future, if I feel the need again, I'll just pay the damn ticket to drive it at the track.

So we can turn off the traction control.
