Dude a lot of towing companies will hook you up with a project move just shop around and you might even find a storage lot for cheap or free.

I spun out at a traffic light lmao but I did it on purpose and besides facing oncoming traffic at the end I just had to promptly turn around and try to stop laughing

Not to thread jack, or hate on another board, but if this one EVER gets close to Honda Tech I'll drop my sponsorship in a day.

Think of a string tied between the steering wheel and the throttle. If you are at the limit of adhesion in the turn, you must unwind the wheel some to allow for additional throttle input and you should do so proportionately. "unwind and add power".
Maybe he should just get a FWD car.

Damn where did you wreck?!

These cars can be really unforgiving if you don't know what you're doing. I fish tailed (on accident) a few times and lost control before going to autocross. Now that I've seen the cars limits, it's my bitch.

I wondered the same thing. But he might've left something out. Glad your ok dude, but your not hurt at all? Looks like a pretty hard hit. I was hit by some lady kinda slow, after scans and tests I was all jacked up from neck down with frequent headaches.
