          that right there is why id rather "waste" money on an older car like an e30, 240sx, or e36. cause when you crash it...odds are theres another shell or cheap runner available on craigslist...hahha

                  I saw that coming. He didn't even slow at all for the corner.

                      the R8 is a pretty sweet looking car. one showed up to an autox a couple weeks ago.. the guy wasn't the best driver and it's not exactly suited to that kind of thing, but it was pretty nimble for such a large car. too bad it was an automatic :(

                          I saw the video yesterday. It seems like he lifted right as he went over the hump at turn 8. I figured that his left rear suspension would have been seriously damaged after that shunt, but seeing that longer video that Jean posted I guess he just got out of that one with some body damage.

                                  good thing he spun and didn't have a possible incident with the car in front of him. :)

                                                  I thought AWD was for those that don't know how to drive.

                                                  "No, no, no!................ GOD Dammit!!!"



                                                  He turned the correct way but when you're going 20-30 (guessing) mph faster than you should be, it really doesn't matter what way you turn, specially once you hit the grass.

                                                  "Hey look, I'm catching that Viper.......where'd he go......what's that wall doing there...."
