O.M.G Devil!!! WTF?!
I'm glad you walked away safely from the accident, but more then that I'm thankful you didn't hit anyone else. If you died because you were stupid, that's your ******* fault and your wife and kid can deal with it. If you'd have killed an innocent person....well...you get the idea.
Glad you're safe man, heal up quickly and keep negotiating with the wife.

Wow, I thought my crash was even slightly bad. This is huge. Glad you're okay, I know how you feel losing your 8, I just lost mine a week ago. Best of luck to you.

I am leaning towards a BMW, the issue is that the wife has me by the *****. Due to my stupidity she thinks I shouldn't be rewarded with a nice care. Can't say I disagree with her. She wants to see me in a Carolla or Camry 
I'm fighting hard, luckily I have about 2 months before I get a new car. That's time to let her cool down.

I've been thinking about this. Don't get a new car, get a used one. A used car will have to be replaced sooner than a new car. You won't be stuck driving something you don't like for a long time (along with the depreciation on this car). You can be even more contrite, you don't deserve a new car.
In a year or two, go for the drivers car again.

Just got my check in the mail ,4K after the lien holder was paid off. Just spoke to my insurance and even with the accident and the OWI my insurance will only go up $60 per month, but I need to increase my deductible to 1K. The new rate will stay for 18 months, then go back down to normal. So if my calculations are correct after paying a $726 OWI ticket, $60 a month more for the next 18 months and receiving 4K back from the insurance Co. I am actually coming out on top money wise But still not worth the broken wrist and the trauma I put my wife through

OWI was only a 726$ ticket? guess michigan law is a lot more harsh.. there is mandatory probation and demands from probation that cost additional money for even first offense OWI (not the harsher DUI) charges... consider yourself lucky to be alive and you arent becoming the legal systems bitch for 6-12 mo due to probation.

well, consider a hard lesson learned and like i said, be thankful for your child and wife's sake that you are alive. money comes and goes, but freedom and life are irreplaceable.

Yea, that's my last option. Though she may be breaking on the BMW 335i, though I need to come up with the difference b/w my old 8 payment and the 335i payment which is about $200.
