I spun out sideways into a curb+tree the week before last, so my 05 MT RX8 is at the dealership, they haven't even assessed the damage to it yet, so I can guess I'm at least 2 weeks from seeing my precious again.

I'm in a Kia Sportage SUV right now... Jesus.


I'm feeling pretty much constantly troubled at the fact that I can't ride my trusty steed, argh!

I need to be talked down!

Yes, I'm a fool for trying to blip my throttle coming out of the turn in 2nd...but I'm seriously thinking there must have been something off with the car.

 

sounds like what i did only i hit a fence pole. i was without my 8 for 3 months so i feel your pain

 

bummer, that sucks! hopefully it's not totaled

 

You are correct. there was something wrong with the car.

A nut behind the wheel..

Ha ha... unfortunately I put my bet on the RX8 and it was caused by driver error.

Sorry to hear what happened. It's a bad way to learn a lesson.

Take some instructions at the local track. Then keep the speed there. Much safer and cheaper than racing on the street.

 

Dont feel bad. Our baby was wreced by some a$$ that wanted the lane my Girl was in with out looking in his blind spot

 

^ Ja, and that was a very sad sight indeed!

 

that sucks man... i have a similar story. I had a 00 Prelude and went 75mph around a 35 and the car hit the side of the road... popped out sideways and did three barrel rolls into trees/brush 20 ft off the road

I think you should just keep the Kia till your a better driver. You have done this before and didn't change the way you drive.

Oh wow look at post #30 in the link that expo1 posted wow just wow!

 

Take a driving course.

Or just learn that punching it in the wet is a bad idea.
