What are my options? (r3v content)

[iamsam]

The only ways I could have prevented this was if I had a passenger reading the GPS, (or if you weren't going 20 over),we hit tail of the dragon and other twisty roads without a dry run simply by having the passenger read what the next corner would entail, second being a dry run. I did my best to stop it so I'm not complaining about my driving skills. If I did a dry run it would have been sketchy as well, when they meant 15 on the turn, it surely meant TEN. Something locals of tail of the dragon told us when we drove through it, to follow the speed limit on the hairpins haha. And the cops indeed told me that as far as speed limits go, the signs should be updated as they don't reflect the two-in-one sweeper-hairpin style turn it is. I'm glad I was ahead and my follower friend heard the collision or else it would have been a REALLY bad night.


Sorry about the terrible grammar, still a bit banged up by it all ha.

be smart like me and go only 15 over.

It's called a decreasing radius turn and is exactly why you leave a few tenths on the table when you drive/ride a road , particularly the first run on it.

Highway engineers design turns like this to weed out shitty drivers for the betterment of society as a whole. You obviously were not going fast enough.

I love you <3

Of course I'm at fault man, the road didn't suddenly become sharp because it hated me haha. It's a lesson learned :)

I know its redundant, but this is exactly why I NEVER drive quickly on a road I don't know. 'Least you're alright though.

Holy shit this is gold,Solid r3v right thar.

This isn't a disaster. This was your fuck up bro sorry. You owned the car four days? Sure you may have driven other e30's but you didn't know this one well enough to be doing what you were doing. Admitting to hitting twisties at 1:30am, 20mph+ over the speed limit is pretty irresponsible. Especially without a dry run to know what's ahead of you. I agree, learn how to drive

Dude, that fucking sucks, but it's entirely your fault, and never should have happened. Yeah, it's safe to go over the suggested speed most of the time, but 20mph over for a 15mph turn? What were you thinking? Especially on an unfamiliar road.

I'm glad you're physically alright, but I really hope you learned from this.

If you part it I will take the hood and the front bumper.

Interesting that from a front impact that bad the airbag didn't go off. Just goes to show that the e30 airbags are so old now (and old technology) that people are justified in taking them out.

I put my head as far back on my headrest as I could, I did not want to end up with a broken nose haha.


And as far as everything humor wise, I'm cool with it, the car died in style, we were pushing through those twisties for a good 30mins, it didn't get killed by a Suburban, or a drifting on a public road into a family of 5, it died when I was having the most fun with it, away from everyone, and I walked away, and the car still drives. I did everything I could to stop it because it would have ended up much worse :)
