You've gotten in 3 accidents over the last year, and you're supposedly at fault in only 1....is that correct? Even w/o fault, if enough $hit happens to you, you can still be dropped or face ins. hikes. Just happened to a friend who always gets hit. No, it's never his fault, but he prob. could be a bit more proactive to avoid putting himself in risky situations.

I'd check w/ your ins. agent first, and see if these claims will affect your risk categorization. The last thing your ins. underwriter wants to see now is a more expensive and higher performance vehicle!

One of the Lexuses (Lexi?) prob. makes the most sense for your current situation.

Stalking you? Why would I care to do that? No, I was just shaking my head at some of the piss-poor advice being doled out here...all this debate about supercars, for a very young single male that just ended up w/ a totaled S2000, and nobyd even mentioned ins. ramifications. No offense, but you're not a very attractive risk to your ins. underwriter, and buying a high performance car doesn't help.

I simply looked for the thread to see what happened, and you spelled it out. BTW, you won't get an ins. break on the Supra b/c it has 2 fewer cylinders....I think "twin turbo", not to mention a pretty solid loss experience, is enough to jack up rates on the Supra.

How about the Infiniti G35, and the upcoming Infiniti G35 coupe. 260 hp, and really nice for about low-mid $30's.

well the G35 won't be here until about September and I bet there is a waiting list on top of that.

Does it occur to anyone that he's 19 and already crashed a S2000?

I would suggest S4 (if he crashes a RWD, maybe it's time to get a AWD?)... or
RX300 (you simply cant go that fast with this one)...
