P.S. Why would I burnout in a BRZ? This location has been my preferred spot to practice bad behavior since I got my license. My train of thought has been if you're driving a nice car people, friends, ect, are going to ask you to do stupid stuff; I wanted to be prepared so I practiced here. I had no practice with the BRZ when this situation came about and I suffered for it. I look forward to taking a track day class and improve my driving ability.

Not to bee too harsh, but I don't really see how having the insurance company cover the damage for something stupid you did is really learning a lesson. A lesson would be if you paid for it all out of pocket and gave up something else in order to do this, a hardship. Insurance is not an extra bank account to fix things like this. It is meant to get a broken car back on the road and to cover liability costs in a REAL accident. Add up what you have paid to the insurance company so far for this car minus managing expenses, including paying the agent to file a claim. At this early stage I bet you haven't paid in the $2500 repair cost, so your insurance account is a loss for the company that will have to be made up by them elsewhere (others pockets). So don't abuse insurance, it is there for the really bad stuff, not scratches and dents. A be more careful next time. Join a racing, autocross, drift club and do these things the right way in a controlled environment.
