the almighty herb outright deleted all posts before the takeover. i'm guessing they don't want any legal ramifications from previous administrations...

Hey I have no problem admitting when I do something stupid. It was partially my fault but its so odd I couldn't get it to snap back into place like my Z3 now granted the Z3 is 300Lbs lighter and has better tires on it but still. That $1400 side skirt was enough for me to learn my lesson though

if you don't know the story behind that one, it's worth the read:

it started with this:

https://jalopnik.com/this-asshat-bmw...-ca-1677493427

and then the guy that did it took to the bmw forums to defend himself, which ended as spectacularly as anyone can foresee:

TLDR; don't use analog tire pressure gauges, 1.5 psi is enough to make a car do some crazy things...

What was even more of a blow to my ego was I've driven my Z3 in rain with questionable tires and have never lost control of it then I hop in the BRZ and loose control of it immediately, but i'm thankful the only thing hurt was my wallet and ego

Looks like fun, I'll have to try that in Forza!

I saw this trainwreck of a thread live on bimmerforums. It was epic.

Don't feel too bad! The record still belongs to the guy a few years back that lost control and rolled the car while leaving the dealer's lot for the first time. He didn't even make it 100 yards.

2nd one on Auction, totally fixable with just the front frame damage. Probably can just pull it to straighten the side frame and then weld a new piece on the front. Engine and everything looks good. Track build hahaha!

It's a perfect hit too lol, washer fluid reservoir looks to be holding, headlights look good. I mean lol you couldn't ask for a better deal on a track build.

Nah. Likely internal damage to the engine. Crankshaft takes a whack while everything else is still moving forward. Maybe... maybe not. This wasn't dead on center, but...
