The “car is replaceable you are not” mentality is something I sorely need to learn. I way too often think about being scared that I’m about to destroy my car before thinking about saving my own life 😃

Lol I didn’t even think about myself until weeks after my crash. All I thought about was my car being wrecked

When someone totaled my car 2005 Subaru WRX STi that I had since new 5 years ago. Good thing I had a dash cam, and sent my insurance the dash cam video. They took care of everything. I didn't even go to court. The other insurance company just paid me out. A 2005 Subaru WRX STi with 32k miles on it for a 14 year old car and still was able to get $30k for it from the insurance was a good investment. I paid $38k after taxes and interest rates back in 2005 was super low, 0.9% for it. I'm cross shopping right now from a 2018 M2 to a 2019-2021 M2 Comp to an M4 and M4 CS. Can't wait to get it.

Damn 0.9%! You don’t see those numbers anymore. During COVID I had a great 2.4% at the time on my M240i. The only regret I have trading to an M2 was my rate went up a lot. But good luck on your car hunt! I’d lean towards the CS, but you can’t go wrong with any of those choices.

@@BertskiZPolski Thank you, waiting for the right M4 CS to pick up. Wanted one without a previous accident or wit an accident that is minimal. Yep, 0.9% was a thing back in 2005.

That's why my M240i is xdrive model, and my new RS3 has Quattro, so i never have to worry about this happening!

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy RWD. The car can do things that I couldn’t do on the m240i, but it just adds another layer of caution when driving I didn’t have to worry about as much before.

Hey buddy, glad all turned out ok and the whole process is done and dusted. Very happy to live in EU, as I think in USA things like this can get quite a story.. I can really relate to this ‘it’s just a car’. I have a an M140i, very nice spec. But in the end cars are replaceable.. tires are so important! Getting them up to temp. But also Tyre choice…just good brands and replacing them on time. Sometimes it’s so tempting to just get another 1000miles out of them and in the end you end up in a trench in heavy rain, wishing you had replaced then with 4mm allready…

I really appreciate it! These things in the US can get ugly, but as most things it’s a process with an end. But yeah it definitely makes you look at tires differently with more respect. My problem now is my daily still has decent tread on the tires, but they’re just old and drive like hockey pucks. Fronts are 4 years old and the rears made it 8 years. It’s just time to replace them and be better off safe, than trying to make them last another year and have them lose grip when I need it. Really crappy thing to go through.
