even if he drives ferraris all the time every car takes adjusting time and is different, when I get a new car I spend a month getting adjusted,need to break in the car and yourself just to be safe. Case in point- watch top gear- basically every time they test a new car they haven't driven, they spin out. Not that they're bad drivers or that this guy was a bad driver either, but you can't just get into a car and go balls to the wall when you haven't adapted to the car, especially not on the hazard that is the public highway.

that aside, it was probably a fluke and just flat out sucks so much. but fight to have it totaled if you can, if you have a long time insurance agent he/she may fight for you to argue it's totaled and that may help, otherwise it probably will never be the same and you can bet the residual value just got slammed too
