Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. You’re OK, the car can always be replaced and at least you learned racing is for the track. ---

Glad you’re manning up to your own fuckup. People make mistakes. Besides, MKIV’s push like pigs. Lemme guess, you oversteered/plowed into a curb? Question: I know you had been making noise about getting into autocrossing, but did you actually go to the novice school on Sunday? ---

I am all for fucking around on public streets. That said, that area is SO busy. There are always people walking around and there are ALWAYS cops on union. Ripping high speed turns there seems like you’re asking for trouble. (at least when i crash into curbs it’s in business parks… and even there still i curbed her because it was a blind left and they were doing construction right around the bend… and there was a truck going AROUND the construction in my lane… i had no where to go but the sidewalk.) ---

Yeah wayyyyyyyyy oversteered, plowed is an understatement. I didn’t make it to the school, I overslept ☹ At this point I want a good MPG daily that I don’t have to make payments on.

I hope everyone takes a lesson from this. Don’t fuck around where it’s not safe to fuck around. If you want to take chances do it where you won’t be putting anyone else in danger and don’t drive like an asshole. That being said, I’m glad you’re okay and that no one else was involed. Sucks about the car but that’s life. ---

I feel like shit today because of this:( People make mistakes. The key is that you’re not making excuses or blaming someone/something else. And I think you "under"steered. You tried to turn and kept going straight into the curb? Anyhow, fight it out with the insurance. Let your parents be pissed. Get a Honda or something and start autocrossing. You learn how to do shit like that, only in a controlled environment where the only thing you can hit is a cone. Well, I guess there are exceptions to every rule. It’s way more fun than fucking around on the street because you can go 10/10ths longer and safer, and when you’re done you will realize just how much driving like an ass on the street sucks because you just can’t do the things you can on a course. ---
