^^pics there^^

seems like i hit a patch of dirt while countersteering and i was going a bit too fast(45mph+), just lost control, ended up in the dirt, stuck.

at about 3:00am, after a long time with trying to get the car pulled onto the road with a truck, the tow truck arrived.

and now im broke again.

 

damn, that does suck ass.

Other than the tie rod, anything else damaged?

 

Didnt LOOK like it, but i got it towed to the mechanics, so i wont find out for sure until monday.

 

just an idea... but why would you post those pics on a site you have your car listed for sale on?

kinda makes it hard to say "hasnt been beat on"

 

because its not for sale anymore.

oh alright then.

explains that.

 

i like it how people say they hit a patch of dirt.

man i tell you what. i saw people last weekend blowing tires in mid drift and not even spinning out. hell they went 2 more laps with out even noticing it and drifted the bank.
just say you got in over your head and messed up. thats all

ive only seen one person mess up from gravel, but even that was a bad judgement call.

 

ohhohh type -o- ure getting sloppy. spell right buck or ban lolz

edit: ok well u fixed youre type -o-.

 

I've been rather lucky when I have wrecked, I usually just lose it mid drift and slide gently off the road, but miraculously my car seems to have an impenitrable bubble around it lol. Hope it lasts long enough till I get my cage heh. That sucks man!!! Ahh well... all that's left do do is upgrade all your broken parts ^_^. I have slid off the road because of dirt on the road and not expecting the rear to go out as quick/far as it did when I hit the dirt/sand that was on the road. It all ends up being the same thing, but it's just inexperience vs more experience (ie, knowing how to coop with unexpected changes mid-drift).

Well, I did obviously mess up, and it wasnt the best idea drifting in a consturction site with dirt all around to begin with.

The reason I say I hit a patch of dirt is because as I was countersteering I spun violently seemingly out of nowhere, so I assume that's what happened, im not experienced so i didnt even think about what i should do to avoid what happened.

But I got a new tie rod in, and now i think im having an alignment problem. The steering seems to stick in regular driving after I make a turn.

For Example, if I make a right turn and let go of the wheel at the end of the turn, the wheel will stay turned to the right and will not return to the center position. Has anyone ever had this problem before? I am going to get it aligned in a few days and see if that was it.

Thats what I felt like, Ive messed up a few times before and just slid gently in the dirt, and I could always just drive out. Seems like my impenitrable bubble bursted.
