What car to get?

So, I was in a car accident today and I'm not sure if the car is total'd. If it is, what car should I get? Yes, I'm ok..just a bit shaken up.

I'm going to have to say about 5 grand if the car is totaled and can probably spend about $200-$350 a month. I won't make sure until tomorrow.

It will be a brand new car, and if you put some work into it right away, you might be able to pull some partial sponsorships ;) But if you don't like it.... IS300

alright

what about just 370z? I am just busting out all the cars I'd get, and you're reasoning are exactly like mine.

1. Decent maintenance
2. Reliability
3. Cost

Overall, it's called utility. lol

Evo X is too expensive same with the 370Z. I'm looking for a car under $20k.

TSX's are nice too. U can get a s2000 for under 20k and they are hondas so they are reliable and cheap to fix and maintain
