Dude was drunk.
Smashed into a bunch of those big cube mail box things.
Parked the car very nicely.
Got in a fist fight.
Ran from the cops.
Hid in the woods.
Got spotted by a chopper.
Went to jail.
You know, just a typical day in Florida.

The lady who posted those pics lives in Tampa (my home town... I can verify, this place is INSANE).

But i can't find any more info on it. It happened yesterday or the day before, but there is soooo much crime here every friggin day I couldn't spend the hours it'd take to find one DUI. Holy shit I don't want to drive ever again.

Drove my FRS to the end of my street today. Gave up, turned around, went home. Did not crash.

PSA: snow on slush on ice does not go well with half-life BFG sport comp as2 tires... And they didn't bother treating the roads around me yet...

Had a two day "management retreat". The only thing good about it was it the facility was down a very windy barely two lane road with no traffic and lots of 25MPH double and triple curves.

Was a little rainy yesterday, so took a few of the curves" a little on the fast side" coming out (OK about 45MPH). Managed to drift even with the nannies turned on. Since that wasn't planned, did get the adrenaline up, but did not crash.

Going to have to go back and do those roads again at some point soon.

A bit. Enough on the highways to understand why.

Finally turned off the nannies. I've been scared to thus far, but I wanted to take advantage of the once in a lifetime rainy weather in LA. Happened to be in an empty parking lot and far enough away from anything I could hit, so I turned them off and got the car sideways, counter-steered and the car immediately stopped. Opened the door to see where I was, and I was perfectly lined up in a parking spot. Made me feel like a badass coming out of the car. Wish I could have played around a bit more but I spotted a cop down the street before he saw me spinning around. Did not crash without my nannies.

... Is this really a thing? Are there people afraid of turning the TCS and VSC off? Why?

First sports car evar, first RWD, and I chirp the stock tires enough as it is with the nannies turned on. Consider it a thing-a-ling if you wish.
