    My 10 year loyal Honda Civic SI was crushed this weekend by a drunk driver (while parked, no injuries). Just got word from insurance that it's totaled, not surprised about that.

    Car shopping has begun. I have a $10k check coming at me, figure I'll use it as a down payment on something. Suggestions? I want something I can tow a dirt bike with.

    Why not just ride the dirt bike everywhere like Peter Billingsly did in The Dirt Bike Kid?

    Buy used. Buying a car new is a fucking scam.

    ^ definitely getting used! no doubt about it.

    and yes, I was extremely surprised at getting 10k (actual number is 9888, close enough).

    Ideally the new car costs 20-30k, 30 being on the high end of what I care to spend. If the down payment cuts the cost in half, I will be a fucking grin-machine.

    • buy an e46 bmw m3, great car for probably around 20k, not sure about the dirt bike thoughspot13

    10k is probably the best payout i've ever seen for a car that old. hopefully you won't be getting a call back from the adjuster saying 'oops' on his initial market value appraisal.
