good thing in all this is that you lived to learn and maybe some other members will learn something too...

ive never joined a valley drive but i sure hope you guys are keeping it on your side of the yellow line cause pushing it past that center line is only asking for trouble
.. yea i stay in my lane

thats how i see it if you can do it in your lane then you are proving to be a better driver..cuz your setting your self up with bounderys that if you do mess up you got some room where if you use all the space you got you got no room for correction.. my room for correction was for less than 5 feet before it was a complete drop off.. not saying im a perfect driver or anything but i did know how to handle my car.. for the style i normaly drove those roads, just this one was pushing it a lil to hard

If you're getting another Suby, then you're better off keeping all of those performance parts and putting them on the replacement car. You'll never recoup anywhere close to the $10K you spent, so you might as well keep enjoying the parts you paid for.

Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash.
Relieved that you walked away from this one.
