Buy it back from the insurance because that for sure is a total loss. I mean it does not take much to total them.

It's a shame but I disagree about driving in the rain. There is zero reason you cannot safely drive this car in the rain, as long as you have good tires and common sense.
That is a hard enough impact that someone must have made a pretty big mistake, either the driver of the FD or the driver of another car.
Best of luck to the FD owner.

And he did seem pissed about you posting this elsewhere...
Not my business though. He can be an arrogant pos sometimes. While I just treat everyone like **** 100% of the time.

Slid out in the rain once on a seriously slick part of the road. My rear tires didn't have enough tread. I hadn't looked at them in a few months and didn't realise how fast my FD was eating up the rear tires. I was used to my Miata. Fortunately I did not go off the road or do any damage.

My.02, good tires/brakes should go a long way as long as youre not carving up apex's hoping you get the grip...Know your limits or your car's, tires? equipment..ah, w/e

I got stuck in the rain last night...first time in a few years I drove in the rain. I have never got in my car and left the house (in the FD) with it raining or knowing it was going to rain.

Rain is dangerous IMO because on the street you need more stopping distance, more road width for recovery, etc when something sudden comes up. Nearly all of us are guilty of not backing off enough, slowing down enough, etc in rain to avoid possible accidents. We're accustomed to reacting in dry conditions.
