the day me and my suby almost died

So im home from college for summer, decide to take the sti for a spin up by page mill out in the hills got a little too aggressive around a smooth turn started to sideways drift hit a curb and scraped up my new wheels then came across the opposite lane smashing on the brakes and slide through some gravel just barely dodging a huge telephone pole and sliding down a prolly about 70 degree hill into a small tree and some hanging branches...i was scared ****less!!! Im so lucky that that tree stoped me from rolling my car. thankfully AAA could pull it out easily and the worst that happened was a bunch of ugly scratches that I hope will be able to be buffered out...so does anyone know a good place to fix up my paint?

So even with a front LSD equipped STi, you could not control and recover from a slide?

Either save it for the track or change your screen name from splinter to sphincter.

The older guys are going to get their flame on

But, I'm just saying slow down... enjoy your car and hit up that T-Hill $100 track day!!!

Hopefully lesson learned. At one point or another we all have to learn through a similar experience. Glad your okay.
