I have a difficult time believing you are going to take anyones recommendations seriously on what you should buy next? That is such a wide open question.......... How are we suppose to answer? Geo? Ferrari? Lambo? Dodge?

Why not jump of a bridge or in front of a train, the result would be the same
less the wrecked P-car

The first one...didn't look totalled, but the body shop didn't have the equipment to fix the car so the insurance company decided to consider it totalled....The second one i believe has more damage than the first turbo i crashed so i assume its gonna be totalled....My first turbo was silver and my second turbo is black.....haven't had a chance to take any pictures of the second turbo....since its right now stored some where hella far from where i live because the insurance company doesn't want to pay storage free...Right now im thinking about getting a white or yellow turbo....by the way none of this is bull****, if u dont believe me just ignore the post instead of making stupid comments.....i was just wondering if ppl can give me any suggestions as to what other cars are worth buying.....I was also thinking about getting the RS8.....but it would be a downgrade

There is no RS8 yet, and it why would it be a downgrade? The R8 already beats the 997TT on some tracks and the RS8 should have the Lambo V10.

Learning how to drive a car with higher HP would probably be a big help otherwise buy a Prius and hire a chauffeur.
