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

As long as it also doesn't mean more dead or crippled owners.

Its nature of RWD cars it will bite you very hard if you kids don't know how to respect it this is very much the reason why we never got the turbo engine on the Twins, I bet it was also another reason why we didn't get hot version on 240sx as well wrecks like this.

I totally disagree with the whole "nature of RWD" sentiment. It is not the nature of RWD to be any more difficult too drive then any other car and I hate that this myth has developed. My mother drove performance Mustangs and T Birds for decades and never put one in a ditch. My Grandmother drove a 64 Galaxy powered by a 390 and never put it in a ditch (she would have smoked most of you guys by the way). That is on bias ply tires, single cylinder drum brakes, no power steering and not even the hint of a nanny onboard.

Bad driving has nothing to do with what wheels are moving the car it is attitude and experience that cause crashes like this. Probably 1,000 Civics end up like this to every 1 RWD car (Mustangs excluded for obvious reasons).

At least you can salvage some parts.

Most of the damage from what it says is from the front lol people who want those new 2017 tail lights can probably get them cheap off of cars like these.

It's hard to believe, I know! But I did it 30 days after I got mine. Heartbreaking.

These cars are designed to crumple expensively while protecting the frame, mechanicals, and you. My accident didn't total the car and I drove it home without a wobble, even though the damage was just about as bad. The repair job was $7500, and it looks and runs at least as good as new . . .

Most of the crowd-eating Mustang videos I've seen are from them doing rolling burnouts, not hard cornering.

True but in context it doesn't matter how traction was lost just that it was.
