Maybe no harm done to the people. The car would be totaled. You can dent this car by pushing on it with your hand.

There are many guys that have bounced off curbs that would disagree with this statement.

Should have bought a 86. It is much slower.

The problem is that almost all the people who care about this car have access to the internet and the know how to create an account and shitpost.

This site alone gets over 350,000 hits per month, there's <80k of these things out there. It's not like there's some epidemic of totaled 86's, the reality is warped by the information that gets posted on this site.

This is why 86/BRZ will never become next S2k and it'll stay as 240sx... which I'm not complaining.

More wreck 86/BRZ = more parts at junk yard I can find

Another one crashed in British Columbia :/

Quote:
A young driver lost control of his brand new Subaru. He was traveling on a road that curved to the right, but the driver didn't realize the road was covered in wet leaves. The vehicle then struck a large bolder, and rolled into a school yard, landing upside down. The driver was able to exit the vehicle, and went home to call police.

More like Ryan Tuerck.
Does Ken Block do anything but gymkhana now? I've seen him rally in the past 2 years, but only a few times and he's not that great.
