Wait. I remember someone telling me that some insurance companies won't even insure some super cars. Not because racecar but because too 'spensib.

:/ Not sure how accurate that is but... that guy in the Veyron is so.. Lul. People with reckless money.

Should have purchased the RWD version, you can get that in manual.

While I do feel bad that a BRZ met it's end in such a fashion... why is your replacement car so different? If a BRZ replacement wasn't available, wouldn't you have the option of having your insurance company put you in a rental until one becomes available?

It won't happen immediately. Insurance companies are not going to raise premiums right after a bad storm causing so much damage. They'll wait a few months and then start nailing their customers with increases to make up for the payout losses. They don't want to look like assholes by increasing rates so soon after their customers got hit.

A boat would have been handy in the experience with your BRZ
