Sorry if this seems completely inadequate, but that must have been a slap in the face to the OP.
I think that it's quite obvious that he has learned his lesson and is a bit more careful about his driving. Assuming from what he has posted anyways. And, once again, Im 18 and have a Z4. So.... I'm guessing that makes me a complete idiot just because of my age? Sorry to hear about the M Coupe, glad your alright.

I consider myself very fortunate to have survived the late 70s as I had the world's fastest production motorcycle at that time (Kawasaki H2) which I didn't have the skill nor experience it needed, and not to mention the brakes and handling at that time made the motorcycle quite dangerous. It well earned its widowmaker reputation. I certainly had some close calls. All I would accuse the OP of is making a bad choice. The good news is he now has a valuable lesson to keep in his hip pocket for future reference. At least he shared the experience as perhaps a warning to others. For that he gets called an idiot. Not cool.

+1 Lesson learned the hard way but hopefully it was learned none the less. Just advise the OP NOT to get a motorcycle, they are less forgiving.

I think we have beat up the OP enuff. We have all done stupid things at one time or another so perhaps we should lighten up a little!

....okay. What are you trying to say? I have full coverage on all but one vehicle, and at least the standard 100K/300K on all vehicles with a company in good standing that has a reputable name.
What would you consider 'good' insurance? p.s. I am an actuary so you might not want to get into an insurance/statistics argument with me

I'm glad the guy is ok after such a big crash. I'm only 19 and when started driving first time, I got an E39 M5 with 400HP. I used it as an everyday driver and didn't get into crash. It's because I was always careful about driving. I think the problem with people like myself is that we all think we can drive like pros while the simple matter of the fact is that we can't. Yes, some of us drive better than others and have respect to the road but lets take a look: I know one professional rally driver (polish) who was a great rally driver but died on an unsecured railroad just because he failed at a simple thing of looking out for an incoming train. When on the road I always try to do many simple things which make driving less stressful and when it really takes me to push it hard, I go faster for maybe 4 seconds and before then I look everywhere around to see if it's suitable to do so.
Take your crazy driving on a race track, not local streets which you never know what's gonna hop out of the next corner. That's my advise for 4 years of accident free driving. BTW: My dad is 65, he started driving when he was 18 and NEVER had a single crash. Maybe this will motivate some of you to be safer while having loads of fun at the same time.

Track FTW! More fun with less worries about crazy people around you, depending on the type of track.
