$8,700 seems low for that much damage. More like $10k to get it back close to factory spec. That rear quarter panel is one of the worst spots to get hit. Glad to hear your Ok & at least insurance will cover it.

Had you had your VDC on and are over 30, your car would still look like this:

Sorry there is no excuse for turning VDC off in the rain. I hope you learned from this. Good luck to your car. Hope it get fixed right.

zmyride i think he gets the point man, no need to post a picture and act like a sh*thead. Stop trying to act like a know it all, give the kid a break. If the kid was like 18 and did this then maybe age might have been a bigger factor, but to the difference between 27 and 30 isnt much. A simple good luck on the repairs was all that was needed.

sorry my dry humor offended you. no bad intention from me. I'm not teaching him how to drive. I'm not sure I can drive better than him.

To the OP, sorry that happened. Good luck and hope you get your car back soon.

if you don't know how fast you were going its a safe bet that you were probably speeding. Lol vdc off in the rain. Slap yourself.

But ya at least your alive.

I think we've been a little harsh on this guy. VCD off isn't necessarily to blame. It's not like he was doing power laps. Lesson learned and it could have been far worst.

jaedub · 02-09-2011, 12:03 AM

damn bro, sorry this happened to you. But its just a car, you can always fix it up and ride like if it was new again. GL with the repairs and thank god you're okay

I'm so sick of all the "VDC" bs. I ran one of my fastest laps IN THE RAIN at Auto Club Speedway with... that's right... the dreaded driver nanny VDC off.

Shocking that I'm still in one piece I'm sure.

Stop blaming VDC for every accident. Sh!t happens plain and simple.

well said Killer. I agree with you. There was a time when cars did not have VDC at all. OMG.. People just need to learn to drive and stop havuing the car do it for them.

That said I love my inteligen cruse control and lane departure feture in the FX50. I just set it fall asleep and arrive well rested.

This is true, but you have to have experience with the car. The car was still pretty new to him so driving with VDC off, in the rain, at night probably wasn't the brightest move and ultimately let to him spinning out of control which caused the collision. And yes, I also race in the race with VDC off and I'm often one of the fastest under those conditions.

I only have 1 rule. Drive within your limits.
