I wonder if this was the result of a failed drift?

Wow, that really sucks man. I'll retract my previous statement. I knew this would happen eventually but I honestly feel a little bad given you were going so slow. You'll know better next time! It happened to me in my MR2 Turbo once; I thought I'd give it a little extra throttle coming around a tight turn. The back end swung out and I couldn't regain control fast enough; managed to slide and just lightly bump the base of a tree, cracking my front spoiler. I'd been driving RWD all my life and several mid-engine cars, so I shocked myself when it happened. Maybe it's best to leave TC and ESC on until you get to the track/auto-x course from now on.

Airbag deployed, core support damage, possible suspension damage... That's probably $10k in damage.

I hope they were okay. Looks like it hit a pole, but anyways, quick! Someone snatch the tails and try to bake them open!
