Hey Guys
Hope you guys have all been doing well. I've taken some time away from the board for the past while to sort out a lot of things and keeping myself busy. I've finally bought another car (ITR) to replace the S last Thursday. Went all the way to Ottawa to get it.
For those of you who are curious about what happened that day I'll summarize it in a nutshell as I don't want to post in public specific details (PM me if you really wanna know). After analyzing it for a while, I concluded it was a combination of a lot of things, but of course there are always prevailing causes. Initially, I kept telling myself I exceeded my limit, then realized that it wasn't the case. It was mainly due to poor judgement as a result overconfidence (built up from the beginning of the day). *I was driving too close to my own limit in a place that I wasn't familiar with*. BIG MISTAKE. Anyhow, you live and learn and sometimes it's the hard way. I'm going to pay the price for the next 6 years with insurance rates up the nut. I'm already paying 6K for full coverage minus collision right now.
I can understand some of you guys might be ticked off cuz I may have raised your insurance rates so feel free to vent here. I'm open to bashing, criticism and comments good or bad.

I think we are all just glad you are ok, it wasn't pretty.
PM me the details though, I'm curious as to what happened.
Money and cars can be replaced, your life can't. and remember, an ITR is no slouch either.
Good to see you back !

sorry to hear you have to let the S go, glad to hear you are ok.
since you said your insurance is quite high, i can't imagine what the ITR would be like as it's a high-risk car as well.
good luck
