So did ROBB. The car is a writeoff. How did he get off easy?

BTW, this is one reason I always say... invest in GOOD tires. The ONE thing on a car that is actually an investment is the tires.

I know how it feels ROBB. If anyone remembers my post a while back about me going into the ditch, exact same crap happened but I had alot more luck. Only front end damage (bumper, CAI, rim(scratched)) so it wasn't to bad after all.

Sorry to hear about the loss !

There is alotta debris on that turn.....lmao

From the pics, I can see that your rear tires are pretty bald. No traction on such sharp turn at such speed = rear end comming out....

Sorry about your accident rob. I know how it feels. It F*cking sucks! I had a $1000 body damage this past winter due to lose of traction on a turn and hitting a tree sideways, sweeping my right side...

Next winter, I'm rolling winter tires, or won't be driving at all!!!
I'm Mr. Traction ever since that accident during winter! Screw drift believers! Traction forever!!

I guess I'm getting carried away here, good night, and good luck with your search for a new car!

psssst: get a 5Gen Coupe!

tires let go either worn out tires or bad pressure settings or something on the road (oil) in my case when I hit a curb it was oil and I was going really slow....

I find these days on autocrosses I get alot of oversteer in the car so I'm better at handling it now. I know what it's like to get snap oversteer... crazy scarey if your not prepared.

Too bad about the car, but on the bright side at least it was Tikal who saw it happen and not a cop on an ERASE mission. I'd assume it would be careless if not reckless for losing the tail on a turn.
