Some people say I'm the worst driver in the world who only blames his tires. Hmmm...Even though I specifically said it was NOT the tires fault, I was inattentive and ran out of talent. Tires were pretty well on their last leg, and with fresh rubber, maybe, just maybe I would have pulled it out, but probably not.
I've had it a month (it's a 2013). I came around a decreasing radius corner without paying too much attention to how much it was decreasing, too fast, no traction control on (except the pedal dance), it oversteered a bit, which was fine (fun), but then I get a bit hazy. I was going about 60mph, I countersteered like normal (I thought), but then it snapped oversteer the other way and I went twirling down the road. Luckily no traffic in the way and a wide road. Before I could get stopped, I hit the opposite curb completely square with the passenger side. Destroyed my passenger rear suspension, rear um...brace (?) that holds everything together between the frame rails, two tires, wheels, brake lines, a bunch of other odds and ends.
So, I upgraded just a couple things. Stainless brake lines so hopefully they won't get cut again (not that it was that big of a deal, but I got a good deal so why not?). Rear aftermarket LCA's, not much else aftermarket. I did have a stockpile of aftermarket parts I was waiting (lazy) to install, so I had them do that too, including RCE springs. Oh, and I got two new OEM wheels because I couldn't decide on anything better, but did get 4 new Pilot Super Sport's.
So, completely my fault, but I learned from it. And I always love putting it on forums because all the perfect drivers out there then berate you on what an idiot you were! Uh, duh! My checkbook helped me determine I was an idiot long before I posted! :)
