The quality is really bad because it got compressed funny on Youtube, so I'll post a better version later. Watch the 5:00 mark ;)

[YSLBTT]

I'll refrain from commenting...

[Greg]

whys that?

[welery]

Not sure if it is quality or not, but it appears that the double yellow was crossed numerous times. The other driver was out of control at one point.

I'm a proponent for Auto X and Circuit Track Racing. Mountain drives are cheaper on the front end, but the price you pay if you F up is one that no one wants to pay...

[Greg]

ok, your one of those. gotcha

[WJM]

WJM thinks that there should be no fighting.

To each their own and lessons will be learned.

[em1toevo]

^^Amen. Let's not fight about it.

[YSLBTT]

Well thats the problem, lessons aren't being learned; I'm not talking about Greg in specific, but many people with "fast" and "great handling" cars seem to think they are Michael Schumacher or The Stig or even worse, Superman. We all know they are not. I just want people to be safe and I want to know that I won't be killed on the road by some asshat.

^^Amen. Let's not fight about it.

Who's fighting?;)

I agree.....BUT!

The more intelligent one is with being The Stig...the longer one will last on the street. Meaning...you look out for inexperienced Stiggies and avoid situations where the Stiggies will be/come out of....etc etc...because if you ARE a Stig...you know what other Stiggies will be doing so you can avoid them.

I've experienced this many times.

Those who are not Stigs will not be watching out and paying attention like they should be anyways and crashing will happen.

/discussion over stupid shit.

[Greg]

huh? Whos fighting?

[TripperFx3]

Who the hell is "the Stig?"

[Xpsi]

Who the hell is "the Stig?"

Agreed, thats what I run on my Evo. Best tires Ive driven on.

[em1toevo]

^^Maybe one day I will get some. I will have to stick with the G-Force Sports for now. It is sad that I never even got to drive on the stock advans(that's what I get for buying a used car).

Im in the same boat. I had 3 Fuzion ZRi's and one Hankook Z212 when i bought my car. Probably going with Toyo Proxes 4 for my next tires.

[welery]

by the way, one of my friends saw a nasty wreck in the mountains this week involving either an evo or sti and a minivan...

[wrxin8or]

well I did hear that Greg was involved in an accident, but I do not know if it was in the mountains or not.

quote from wrxatl:
yeah greg got in a wreck.

but from what i read, everyone is ok. no one was at fault, as he was doing the speed limit. he apparently just hit a wet spot in a turn and lost the rear end.

[welery]

oh shit. i didn't think it would really be him. please be careful everyone! Auto X and Track FTW

[wrxin8or]

Here is an update on it, and some pics.

[YSLBTT]

damn that sucks. greg's car is so hot.

[em1toevo]

That is terrible! I'm just glad everyone was ok.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Man, really sad to see that happened :(

[Greg]

Hey guys, I'm just now getting things calmed down. I've been fighting with insurance, the body shop, and I had some police tests this week.

But I just talked to them and it went to Jim Hardman in Gainesville to be fixed. The total came out to $10,000 in damage, but they ended up calling me back to say that it broke the sprocket off of the exhaust cam, so its now being sent to Neil at Subaru of Gwinnett to see what damage that they can find, and if the engine has to be replaced...
The price is climbing up there, so it could be classified as a total loss....

Yes, it was in the mountains, and no I wasn't doing anything illegal. It was raining. No one got any tickets either just to prove that.

I saw your friend though, it was a black evo, right?

[Greg]

[em1toevo]

Ouch!! I hope you get a brand new one out of all of this.

[Greg]

if not, I'm going to buy a daily driver like a Mazda 3 or 6, and then start my LS1 RX7 project sooner

[em1toevo]

"and then start my LS1 RX7 project sooner":eek:

Now that would be a fun little ride!

[Greg]

Theres actually a few around here. I've been pricing things, and I was planning on starting around the first of the year.

We had one stop by Toyota. It was primered, but sexy as hell with that V8 roar!

[Greg]

Yup, I just like the idea of having a fun play car with a RELIABLE 450hp

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ive raced a few of those RX-7 LS1's. Very fun and quick cars. My cousins BF actually has one. Quite a step up from the rotary if you ask me.
