Congrats on getting a replacement so fast. Time to take some driving classes before trying to push any limits in it.
Corrected. However, Mocky is correct. The OP's, and others' bad experiences simply cost us more.

It could be worse. The insurance on my CTS-V wagon costs DOUBLE what my S2000's insurance does. My S2000's insurance is about the same as my Honda Pilot. Go figure.....no accidents on any yet .

Always the roads fault, never the driver.

Yep---sounds like it was the fault of the engineer that designed that "nasty off ramp"......
