Yes, totaled. Insurance covered everything 100% and I turned around and bought a Firestorm one. It can be safely said that I learned my lesson. This car doesn't even know traction control can be disabled yet.

perhaps anyone thinking of turning off traction contral to drift on a public road should watch this first. (I had no idea they drift in Saudi Arabia?)

Their incorrect use of the word "there" not once but TWICE in the same sentence was almost as horrific as the crash itself.

I think that is due to it being a fuel cut-off limiter? I find that if it gets to the limiter in a drift I will lose the ability to hold the angle so I have to reduce power and flick it the other way. So Im guessing the cut-off is still abrupt but just unnoticed since your tires are sideways?
