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.

Wheres a mod when you need him to mop up this mess of a thread?

To the OP..............
What are the extent of the damages?

c32kompressor

new rear subframe assembley, new rear control arm and cv boot and a new rim

c32kompressor

I'm paying out of pocket for the repair, a lesson learned...

aceclimber722

c32kompressor

Glad you are going to fix her.
Sorry for asking about what happened. Who knew the thread would turn and go stright into the ground.
Next time I'll PM.

c32kompressor

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.

Really glad to see you take responsibility.

Well done.

c32kompressor

Growing up really does suck, but everyone goes through it and everyone has to deal with it. in a way im glad this happened. makes me think of what could have happened later on.....

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

c32kompressor

Where abouts in Florida are you in?

moosejaw

Take it to SteveoAMG's brother, he's a collision specialist in West Palm and can probably save you some $$$$. I'd hate to see you drop 5K+ when you dont have to.

c32kompressor

I wish I would have known that earlier, they have already started working on it....

MIKESV8

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?

MIKESV8

ohhh you're 17. woa i remember when when you first joined, was that you who worked for their mom's real-estate firm for the entire summer? anyways, good luck man. at age 19, i still haven't had any sort of experience almost getting in trouble with my c55, but i did with my bmw x5 4.4 when i was 16. bad day man.

c32kompressor

yeah thats me, this was really a shame to happen to such a nice car due to stupidity, but its over now and it turned out okay. i still have my pride and joy

Newzchspy

Look on the bright side, you didn't get hurt like that kid and his friends in the M5 near Travolta's Jumbolair (Ocala FL) about two years ago who launched an M5 at well over 120 MPH through the air into a tree. They all died. I think he was about your age or 19??

c32kompressor

thats truly a shame, really it is. why risk other peoples lives at that speed, i can see if your alone on a deserted road, but not with people in the car
