More importantly, now that everyone is okay, is it totaled?

If it is not totaled and fixable you might as well look into some possible upgrades while redoing the front like Subaru headlights?

Still waiting on the body shop who's waiting on Toyota for parts pricing. No idea if it's totaled and probably won't know for several more weeks.

I'm a little late in the game, but I wanna get some stuff out in the open. Granted, I may be a bit harsh on you neutral, but like you said yourself, people are going to hate you.
First things first, glad that no one else got hurt, and it was just isolated to your car. And at least you tried it when there's was no cars around. But honestly, what the *bleeping* *bleep* where you thinking? Especially coming from a FWD car to a RWD one. Doing a right hand turn and flooring it in your first RWD car is one thing, but with the traction control off? You are seriously lucky that your passenger didn't get injured. Imagine if he did, what are you going to say to his family? How are you going to even make things right for them? I wonder if that ever crossed your mind before you decided to do something so stupid. I mean, honestly, if you are going to do something like that, do it when there's no one else is in the car, because you are responsible for their lives once they become your passenger. Because if it's just you, and you screw up, you're only putting your life on the line (granted that there's no other cars on the road or pedestrians). I mean, have respect for the road and for others while driving. You are VERY lucky that natural selection didn't take it's course. I mean, we all make mistakes, yes, but something like this could have been prevented if you just THOUGHT it through beforehand. Heck, I am not an accident virgin either, so I know how it feels when you get into your first one. But like what others said, practice driving your car in a track or something so you know it's limits and how you can control it when stuff like this happens. My first car was a RWD, and it didn't have traction control. It was hella scary driving in the rain I tell you. And I did have my "drifting" moment in it because of the slick conditions, not because I was trying it because I thought it would be cool. But luckly I was able to correct it before slamming into something like a telephone pole. But yeah, trying to take the turn fast and show off to your coworker in public roads is something more like a highschool kid would do after watching Fast and Furious movies. I mean, you are 24 for goodness sake, you shouldn't have a mentality like that. But from what I read, seems like you got your sh!t together, so that's a step in the right direction. Now we just have to wait and see who else crashes their FR-S...especially since the commercial showcases a drifting FR-S, although some drivers think they can drive like the professionals in the commercial. You're lucky that you didn't end up like this..or anything close to this: Last edited by Bukiya; 06-25-2012 at 02:43 AM. |

I'm also all for scare tactics, except when they don't really apply to the situation at hand. I'm not really "lucky" for not ending up like those people in that video. They were going 200kph (124mph) and doing something that any sane person would call MUCH more stupid than the idiocy I attempted. But hey, at least my accident incited enough self-righteousness in you to make you join the forum! So welcome! |

Consider myself lucky that I haven't done anything like that? PUL-EASE. Luck had nothing to do with me thinking things through before doing something stupid. Even if I wanted to do something stupid in my car back in highschool or something, I couldn't because my car was a POS. So the whole point of the video is...even if they are going at 200km (124 mph), they got 7 rolls in. Not very scientific, but divide those together, and you get 1 roll/17.7mph. So I'm just saying, it not impossible if you rolled your car at least once if you didn't hit the telephone pole and instead clipped a curb or something. The telephone pole may have been your saving grace. |

Hey, did I say the accident was my fault though? No I did not, so don't go about making an ass out of yourself by assuming things. |

Can we get a mod to ban this troll! He made a account just to bash someone! What you can't bully people around you so you do it on the Internet. Hope you feel good about your self but you should just fuck off. This forum doesn't need you.
