Wrecked the WRX

[reckedracing]

That's crazy dude. Even at cold start ups mine did fine.
I even removed the air pump and nothing changed.

you live in FL man, how cold could a cold start up be
lol

 

[Taco15]

lol point taken. Our idea of cold weather is like 50 but with all the humidity and wind it stings like a mofo. no excuse though, you yankees have worse.

[Taco15]

You can run straight pipe no muffler not cats if you wanted. lol

My WRX had all emissions deleted.

old news and way of doing it. that's like us talking about the old school way of building an LSvtec.

thankfully there are kits to properly block off everything.

 

[Taco15]

ok I found them....thank goodness for the cloud

thats me on the wrong side of the road.....fucking roundabouts......

 

[GSRCRXsi]

Damn. What exactly happened. Specifically.

 

[SlushboxTeggy]

That'll buff right out.

My guess is too hot into the roundabout rear end kicked out, hit immovable object, force of impact bounced car away slightly as front end rotated in and smacked the wall...

Am I close?

 

[Briansol]

Ordered soft Taco, got crunchy Taco

 

[|Chaz|]

Ordered pink taco. Instructions unclear, ended up with taco in wall.

That's why you don't eat those microwave buritos while driving, I bet the filling slid out the bottom and burned his crotch causing him to swerve into a wall.

The burrito beat the taco.

It really was a pretty color. I'll always have a soft spot for the Sti, boy racer wing and all. They really are good looking great performing cars.

pretty damn spot on...
i don't know what the rear hit since I haven't been to the roundabout since the accident.....(avoid it because of sentimental shit) the front kicked out and after over correcting the front went through the median taking down a little tree in the process.

i'll try to snap a pic sometime of the roundabout.

I must have been really tired because it wasnt any faster than usual. The car always handled amazing and even when it slid it was very easy to control and very predictable. I that say also because I don't remember what it could have hit on the side. I was sober for sure though.

this happened at 2:45am on a Saturday after having an awesome night with friends. the last beer I had was at midnight (only had 4 total within a 4 hour period)


i can talk about it now that i'm getting something better for only 30 bucks extra a month. I couldn't even look at the pics without feeling angry at myself

shit, i still think about it and wonder what i could have done. I'm just glad it didn't take ME out

 

[phunky.buddha]

Yeah... good that you're here to talk about it. Just remember that the roads aren't a racetrack- they're never the same, and there's always a chance that there's something really nasty out there. You may have been pushing the turn the same as before, but hit a wet patch, some oil, cat blood, whatever.

 

[Taco15]

it was one of those. "never though I would do this to a car" moment that almost made me puke. I literally felt ill for more than a day. I still get depressed when it pops back in my head.

I fully respected the car and tonight was just THE night.

lesson learned and i hope to start another chapter in the car world

 

[SlushboxTeggy]

Hate when that happens.



BTW, in searching for that image, I found out a kid I went to high school with, writes for Cracked.com. Haha, crazy.
