    My friend was up on the loop (wolfpen gap, lollipop loop, whatever you wanna call it) today for the first time and texted me saying there was a WRB 04-05 (could be 06-07, he's not familiar with subarus) WRX (or possibly STi, he couldnt tell) being hauled off on a flatbed. He said it looked pretty messed up. Just curious if it was anyone on here.

    I was going too fast on 60 and when the split came up to go to 9, I got confused as to which way to go and decided to try to make the turn onto 9, under steered and went into the ditch on the left. The driver front wheel is pushed back, so I'm hoping that it's just a bent control arm. The body didn't survive so well, both fenders are gone, and so is the front bumper and hood.

    Thanks for your support guys, it's definitely a humbling experience and it's an expensive lesson, but you can bet I won't be doing that anymore. Drive safe everyone!

    If its totaled be sure to buy it back. We got my ex's 06 back for 3k and parted it out. Let's just say she got 3k for just selling the 6 speed...
