Yes it's indeed driver ability. You also have to factor in road conditions as well. But I don't know anything and this was my first meet and cruise. Whenever I go out with friends I'm always last car behind. Check out the video with the "crazy old lady" you'll see me as one of last car. I'm not confident with my abilities and this is why I don't push myself when it comes to unfamiliar territories.

But I digress, furthermore the driver's ability was not comparable to the vehicle's.

FWIW, in past I've taken 193 route turning at 60-65 MPH ( 35 MPH ) numerous times while staying within my own lane. This however does not make me a rally/professional driver.

This past weekend's incident, I drove legal speed limit and for whatever reason went over the gravel. **** hit fan. The car did what it was supposed to do and that was save a human life. I say it makes me bad driver

but friends as well as others have told me it makes me an unfortunate driver.

I've been trying to recall the event over and over and I can't for the life of me overcome what happened. Buddy of mine once said "Race car drivers make mistakes too"

Again, I'm not trying to compare myself to the latter. Their skills far exceed mine by long shot.

Perhaps I should've brought my Initial D soundtrack

BTW, this dude was awesome. I spoke with him briefly. He was well ahead of the pack while carrying 4 people including himself. I was driving within my ability hence trailing him by several cars:

Anyone know his name/handle?

 

Ivan, it was great to meet you (you were asking me about my REO1Rs). I'm sorry about what happened and your car, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. At least you can recognize for the most part what went wrong and learn from this experience. Like you said, **** happens, accidents happen. It could have been any one of us. Glad you are ok.

 

deff glad you were not hurt, still sucks about the car but like you said, its not a life

 

i believe that might be -TOUGEMONSTER-? correct me if im wrong.


btw, who made that motivational picture for you? haha

 

I busted up at that poster but man i'm glad you are okay.

 

hey sir-ed8 wassup bro....yeah that stiff dude with the psm wrx is me...thanks for the praise, thats why im the tougemonster but all jokes aside i still have alot to learn....glad ur ok bro....ran up that hill as fast as my little short legs could carry me when i saw it all happened....dont worry urself too much...**** happens.....trust me i know.......take it easy bro

 

You were with two other guys right? You were wearing shades with red frames ( ? )


That was me. I took liberty of doing it before anyone did. Ironically I saw a video in past where wrx/sti ( it may have been evo ) and same thing happened to them. Now I know how it feels.

Glad you like the motivation pic :beer:

Yeah dude there's this other member on RS25 talking out of his bum when he wasn't even there. I've dealt with trolls before and I'm not going to waste my time because I know he's behind his keyboard and thinks he's the end all be all. Bet he has mad stickers on his ride. It must add crazy HP.

I didn't care how far behind I was from you because I've never driven that route before and not only that it's supposed to be a cruise and not a race. I enjoyed it nonetheless sans incident. The funniest thing was when we all stopped on top of hill because no one knew where to go hahah. Just glad the dude with gf had print out of map.

 

I want to make sure but correct me, is your handle Kostamojen on RS25? Glad you liked it bro
