Wow. Sucks man. Glad your ok though.

Ive lost control twice. Both times I was very childish when i first got the car.

First time i was taking a turn at an intersection going around 30mph hit a patch of sand slide sideways, i counter steered and slide the oppisite side and popped on to a curb. Thank god i was stock suspension and had prodrives on and nothing got harmed or bent.

Second time i was taking an on ramp going 70 (posted was 35mph) and everything was going fine and the road dipped down causing me to drift sideways so i counter steered and slide towards the rail and braked and counter slide again and stopped right before i hit a tree.

After that day i do not mess around on the street. Now I enjoy driving like a normal person

Good Luck with everything OP.

 

Well, sh*t happens. Get her fixed up and then learn the cars limits with the ESP on, preferably at a track.

 

Damnn that really sucks. I got into a minor accident involving me rear ending someone else within the second week of owning the car and almost another one when my tires was sliding because I turned the corner too quick on the 2nd day of having it lol... Seems like most of the accident said above happen within the 1st month of ownership. The car is just too fun :/

 

ouch

 

Sorry to hear. Just to be curious, what kind of tires are on the rear and how much tread was left?

 

Did you have the VSA off because it was "intrusive" for street driving?

Suggest leaving it on and trying to stay below the threshold where it kicks in when you're driving on the street. On the track where it's smooth and gravel free, turning it off is fine but too many areas on the street where the traction of the road surface isn't particularily good and if you happen to be pushing the car at the time you go over one of those areas, bad s*** happens.

Glad you're OK!

 

That sucks man but glad your all good was the road wet?

 

I think I remember this; wasn't that the old guy in a pickup that had alcohol on his breath?

 

I would also suggest you leave VSA on. If you have good tires the only time you'll have VSA kick in is when you're doing something REALLY stupid or you hit a patch of gravel. The length to which you can push the car before VSA does anything is pretty amazing.

 

i crashed mine on a 2nd to 3rd up shift .....little did i know the cold temps(20's) would play a part.
about 5000 in damage after i hit a barbwire fence in the spin.
live and learn.
