So, on the topic of my friend's recent GT-R crash:

My day was just instantaneously ruined by my friend sending me an image.

Total, the repairs will cost $15,000. Thank god for insurance, right? I don't remember the full list of what he said they're fixing, but I know they're replacing the front-right intercooler and its bracket (which costs $2,300. For a loving bracket.) plus the headlight, a rim, the tire that goes on said rim, and a couple of panels. Essentially, the front right bit of the shell of the car costs more than a Ford Fiesta.

in other news today is the day that ford started taking order for the model A

On this day in 1903, the newly formed Ford Motor Company takes its first order from Chicago dentist Ernst Pfenning: an $850 two-cylinder Model A automobile with a tonneau (or backseat). The car, produced at Ford's plant on Mack Street (now Mack Avenue) in Detroit, was delivered to Dr. Pfenning just over a week later.

So the insurance is definitely covering majority?

So I really want to do some stuff to my car. Not really looking into increased performance yet but I'm stumped as to what i can do to a relatively new car. It's a 2011 328i already with M sports package. (It's just an aesthetics thing. No increased performance from that.) That BMW dark gray with Pearl whiteish interior. Any suggestions?

I can post pics later.

Insurance covers everything but the deductible. His deductible is $500, so he's effectively paying for one tire.

Couldn't get much better than that.  Pretty lucky to be getting off so easy.

Speaking of which, on the recent van that we had, the 2008 E-350, a rock came up and smashed into the windshield while on the highway.  A new windshield cost $245.  The insurance deductible said that it was $250.  We were just like, "The heck?" and I don't think we ever fixed it.  Or if we did, it was during the last week that we had it.

I like metallic colors over normal gloss but matte is okay in certain situations.

Such as this Aventador in nero nemesis.

I saw an old Mini Cooper today, like the famous old one from the '60s.
