wow, I'm SO sorry to hear about your car!! SoCal definitely is a CRAZY place to drive a car. Hopefully you'll be back in an 8 soon.

I was gonna head to SoCal and NoCal for a road trip in December (epic road trip, from Indiana, to see the hawt women). I think I'll stay away for a bit now..., since I have heard so many stories about how crazy CA drivers are.
Maybe I'll settle for Florida instead.

That's one thing I don't get about America. Why don't they just ******* ban the thing? I have tried making calls before while driving, and quite frankly, they're dangerous. Now I make it an absolute taboo to make calls while the car is moving. Hell, no conversations on the phone.

i kinda agree
i mean, i've driven while talking on my cel (mind you, i have an AT) and it's easy - but still not safe - blind spots become bigger - and tho it's a small distraction while on the phone - all it takes is a split second to end things...

I have to admit I use my cellphone in the car 
even with stick. But I'm going to get a bluetooth visor setup when I get the 8 back.
dothackRAVE, I was going to say you should still come out and visit california, but December is probably one of the worst times due to xmas shopping and all that jazz. People get ****** crazy driving around looking for the newest ELMO dolls
EDIT: I WAS NOT ON MY CELL PHONE AT THE TIME OF THIS ACCIDENT. thank you

Post-accident info
Alright guys, so the 8 is officially no longer mine. My insurance agreed to pay me almost $27k (note: I paid barely 22 for it after tax, registration, extended warranty, etc). USAA insurance rocks!
So I guess I am satisfied with everything insurance-wise. I will be getting a new 8 soon
For those of you who were wondering how the interior held up on the passenger side, here is a picture I took today. Also, another clearer picture of the front damage due to the 8 being dropped off the back of the tow truck.

I looked for your car but she was no where to be seen! Do you have your car at Body Craft? Maybe it was out for a joyride like you thought
just kidding....i think
