Angry Totaled car


Myself and sideways went for canyon runs for about 1 1/2 hours...on our way home we were getting on the on-ramp to the 5 freeway, we were both getting on the on ramp. i gave it alittle more gas to get in front and while i was driving STRAIGHT..


The car started sliding over to the right then jerked a 90degree turn into the sidewall of the free way, causing the car the spin about 4 or 5 times beatin up into the drainage ditch( whatever its called) ( it was about 10 feet wide and 6 feet deep) The car spun around and around on top of it for about a 100 yard drag.

I dont know how this happened...this was unpredictable, i had full control of my car and i was watching my throttle and position. I had my wheel going straight and i Knew what i was doing ( i have crashed before years ago and learned my lesson)

i've floored the car THOUSANDS of times going straight and this has never happened to me. I maybe had half throttle during this encounter while it jerked me into the sidewall.
The car is beyond damaged like..its horrible... all four corners destroyed...suspension is gone ...all wheels and tires destroyed.. My intercooler and piping is destroyed...everything else in the engine bay is perfectly intact (thank god) my sound system in the trunk is fine and everything in the interior is completely unharmed..


From sideways point of view ( he was behind me) said i was going and all of a sudden the car just jerked to the right and it was over. I'm just heart broken over this. It is believed that maybe a rear axle went out and thats what caused me to shoot to the side wall.

I just hope no one goes threw what i went threw yesterday morning at 7:23am. This car made a lot of power and the rear maybe just couldn't handle it anymore. I DONT KNOW but i knew that i would have to come to my boosted s2k community and tell about my experience.



you can see the post in the back ground and parts of my wheel underage in the gutter down the strip.


don't bash me... im honest about what happened... i wasn't even driving recklessly when this happened. I was in complete control and the car just yanked on its own. It happened so fast there was almost nothing i could have done besides close my eyes and hold on tight when i went air-born

sounds like a wheel hub could have blown out.

I am so upset about this. My brand new differential only had about 456 miles on it and the exhaust was brand new too

i'm going to the hospital monday to get x-ray'd. my internals hurt and my back and neck are in quite a bit of pain. But my pride is whats damaged the most. i want my car back and i want to wake up from this

i have been the most anal person about my car then anyone else i know. I was in full control... i wasn't flooring it and i was going straight. It just for like half a second moved to the right and then yanked me into the side of the freeway.

the car ran beautifully!!! honestly that was the most fun i have ever had with my car. It was my first time taking it to a tracking/turning event like this... being able to open the car up and take those tight corners and long roads... ive never been that happy about my car before. as well as it being the best car day of my life it also was the worst.

There was no strange noises from the car on the canyon. the only time i had a minor clicking noise was when i start going from a stop i'd hear a click coming from the back.

Sounds like what happened to me when my rearend locked up. I was going about 40mph and all of a sudden I was spinning out of control no warning no nothing. They checked the car over and said it looks like my right rear side just locked up for a unknown reason.

Sorry for the damage to a great car.
