Truth! Especially as it's marketed at a young crowd. They are destined to get wrecked, much like the WRX did when it was first released near this power and price.

I truly hope they totaled this car and he has GAP coverage so he could get a new one and not worry about the quality of the repair.

His "drives" entry now shows a Firestorm, and he wrecked a Whiteout, so I'm betting they totalled the Whiteout.

![]() King's Toyota treated me really well too. They transferred my warranty AND re-applied my college grad discount. So I ended up with a lower monthly payment and about $300 extra after it was said and done. Needless to say, they've won me over as a customer. I didn't update the thread with the new info because someone seemed annoyed that the thread was still going :/ |

well you will once you get comfortable with it. they placed a sports mode for a reason. drive with traction on for a few months to a year then try driving with sports mode after then drive that for a few months to a year then learn how to drive with traction off you will be good. that's what the setting are for. this car will teach a lot of drivers how to control a drift/slide after time passes.

posted this in the other thread but throw my car in there too, got hit by a truck two days ago minor damage to the passenger door and quarter panel. But they both need to be replaced completely.
I washed and waxed my car and took it for a spin, was pulling a left into a gas station. I thought the guy was letting me go since he was stopped at a stop light and he left a gap infront of him. His light turned green and I guess he didn't see me infront of him since he was so high up and just slowly pushed the door in. His truck had a scuff of red paint on it Have to wait three weeks until the car is repaired |

I had an accident in 2005 with a Tacoma D-cab with 4600 miles on it and it was very close to being totaled. I argued with my insurance company over diminished value and was able to convince them to declare a total loss. It benefited me too because I replaced it with a 2006 Tacoma D-cab and lowered my payment by $60 per month and got a brand new truck. (I rolled some negative equity over from my previous trade on the 2005, but had GAP insurance.) Enjoy your new FR-S! Ruskymx |
