    I wrecked my car last night.
    going from 285 S to 20 E as i hit the concrete on the ramp I lost the back end tried to save it and ende up in the gaurdrail. damage as i know so far

    1) dented trunk, front and rear bumbers, DS side skirt
    2) broken fuel line near rear axel
    3) damaged exhaust

    as fo everything else underneath ill look at it today, fix the ful line and hopefully drive it to SoG and see what itll take to fix it.

    Bottom line always be alert... i wasnt pushing my car at all just cruzing home. driving very MPG friendly just trying to get home before i had to refill... and this s*** happens....

    That sucks! I usually haul a$$ thru that corner ~80+mph. Was it raining or something?

    SoG should take good care of you. I'll should be getting service there this week, so I'll keep an eye out for your car.

    do u have real stiff swaybars? was it real cold outside? last week, i slid my car some on the ramp from 85N to 285W... i usually haul ass on that ramp but this time i did a bit of a 4 wheel drift... luckily i never push the car too hard so i was able to catch it... think im gonne blame it on the cold weather

    glad ur ok though... hope u get the car fixed soon

    yeah i have the cusco sway bars... the back is on the middle setting.

    Its weird how it all hapened though, i still dont know what caused it...

    it didnt feel like it was sliding at all
    i was cruzing at like 55 maybe 60... and the back end started ... being so used to driving a camaro i lifted and..... well you know the rest.

    first, i'm glad you're okay, and sorry this will cost a lot to fix, but you have your health.

    1ll-wrx, depending on the suspension setup, and bar setup, you can get a "tricky" rear end that will lose traction pretty unexpectedly. i think sway bars in general take more of the body roll out of the chasis and puts more of that energy into the tire itself.

    i've noticed a good bit of inheirent slide when i don't let the tires warm up a bit, and the roads are cooler so it's an additive effect.

    of course i've had half a bottle of sake so this may make no sense at all lol ;)
