I spent months being really really careful before I started opening it up and having fun, at times they can be difficult to control.... but I'm coming from a 2001.

Be careful and post pictures.

Sorry to hear about this, but at least you should be OK insurance wise. You need to contact them ASAP. Good luck in getting the car sorted out. Allstate will probably pay to fix the car, then cancel your insurance, so you might want to start shopping for a new provider while the car is in the shop.

Don't take this wrong; I have to ask, because I have a bet with some of the other members of S2kI. How old are you? A couple days ago I bet some of the guys that the next crash report would involve somepone over 20, rather than someone younger, so basically all I want to know is whether you're over 20 or under 20.
Thanks, and good luck.
lol- RED, was this from the "my mom doesnt agree with the s2000" thread?
how much did you bet?

I don't take turns on city streets like that. Risky stuff. Drive it like you stole it, but not like you don't own it either.

I love taking turns really fast but yes it is very risky on the street.

Check your policy, but most give you about 15 days of automatic continuation. You should be OK.

My most important recommendation to you is that after you get the damage fixed, you should sign up for a class on how to drive a car like this. Most car clubs offer them. "Driver's skills", "car control", "novice skills", something like that.
