white is the most wanted

DBacon1052 · 10-11-2012, 09:37 PM

I like the white but I'd rather have orange or silver. I actually love my raven but only when its clean

DaJo · 10-11-2012, 09:39 PM

Someone please enlighten us with the story behind this tragedy of our beloved fallen FR-S comrade.

R.I.P.

So many damn accidents already... I swear if I hear another one within this month, I'm going to go to the dealer and just buy them all so no one else can crash them.

obviously someone who has no logic on how a light rear wheel car handles. My guess is he put it in sport mode, disable traction, and tried to show off, got scared, lost control, and crashed.

FReSh · 10-11-2012, 10:01 PM

Very unfortunate. He/She should have tried whatever they were trying in a parking lot or at the track, not in the front yard of this building... That is assuming it wasn't pure accident avoidance. Who knows, them hitting the building could have saved a pedestrian or other driver...

Is this in Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley?

Cha-ching goes the insurance costs...

Opie · 10-11-2012, 10:18 PM

How do people lose control of these things? Can you imagine if the car had more than 200hp!!

I'm getting sick of hearing people moan about their insurance rates. I find it humorous if you honestly believed that a RWD coupe for less than $30K would not be crashed more than the average car.

Don't get me wrong, it's a shame to see these cars wrecked and the reputation the car is developing, but it's far from a surprise.

It's probably in your best interest to sell the car now if you're that worried about your insurance rates because (spoiler alert) I'll bet you another one will crash. And then another...

Also, stay away from Lambos and such

For day to day driving, I leave everything on. There's no need to turn them off. Save that for a controlled environment. I'd rather have my car when I wake up in the morning.

Mr.Jay · 10-11-2012, 10:19 PM

I don't even know where to or if I even want to try and understand this.

I'm just speculating but I don't know how owners can be wreck less with their new cars especially if you invested your hard-earn cash into it. Hmm I just hope it wasn't just driver error and that everyone is okay.

njccmd2002 · 10-11-2012, 10:39 PM

another inexperienced driver.

Celicadude · 10-11-2012, 10:43 PM

Ok I'm not one to believe in curses, but I mean c'mon. Its like only one of three things can happen to this car. Either A-it crashes because the driver is an idiot. B-Someone else crashes into this car because they are an idiot. Or C- waiting for either A or B to occur. Maybe its just too much press because this car is being so heavy followed right now, but seriously for such a low volume car there's just way to many stories about these things getting damaged.
