I sincerely apologize for pointing out how we all pay for the drifters who snap their axles only to have insurance cover it. It was foolish of me to think I would find any understanding. I am sooo embarrassed...
I hope this apology can bring peace to the world, so that we can all stop hating gt4awd. he is an innocent victim, sucked in by this black hole of a thread.

its all good, thats kinda what were all here for, critisism and advice. things did get out of hand but its whatever. all that matters is no one got hurt, no body damage and the car is repairable. its a 5,600$ repair that i personaly am paying for out of my college fund. i have quite a bit extra in there so it didnt really make a difference. and most importantly A LESSON WAS LEARNED. i can really see why perents and adults dont want to see 17 year olds (this happened on my birthday :/ ) in fast expansive cars. im confident that i have a new out look on driving and racing. i know its for the track and it will stay there. really i do thank you all for your input, it really did change my outlook on appreciating what you have and how lucky i am to have parents that will pay for me to be the car im in, it really is a gift.

It's a hard lesson to learn and in your case an expensive one. But now that it's been learned welcome to the world of been there, done that and don't want to go through it again. Mine only cost me a rim, axel and clunk in the rear that I never fixed but never caused a problem. Growing up is the worst.

Still seems high We are pulling for you.
Someday you will laugh and try to tell your kids not to do what you did.
They won't listen

Glad to see your ok and I'm glad you learned your lesson i would never drift any car I own no matter what it is cause I have seen the consequences when I was younger my friend got a brand new evo 8 and drifted it in a parking garage going downwards, he ended up hitting a wall and totaling it on his 18th bday... I'm glad ur in south Florida too maybe il see your car someday, I love the c32s it's my favorite car since I was 15

my car is pretty much totaled, nthe right rear a arm ripped right out of the frame and the rear say bar is bent, damper blew and the rim is cracked, the whole lip of it. idk even know what to say, this feels unreal like nothing i have ever experianced. i have never felt so much passion for something as much as my baby. until insureance sees it tomorrow i wont know for sure, but everyone says she will be totaled. you all have been very helpfull and great advice givers and i thank all of you for that.
it's a good experience for you in my opinion. good because you learned the consequences, and no one was hurt in the process. these people are saying you're young, how old are you? and do you have pics?
