I'm an idiot. I broke my 370 two months in. Please don't laugh.
 

Oh guys. Bad night.

Driving home with a buddy and decided to show him how cool my car was. Of course that was a mistake, because while my car may be cool, it reacts badly to an idiot behind the wheel (me).

Took a left turn slow then nailed it with (please don't laugh at me) traction off. Went way wide, way fast. Got off the gas too fast, snapped the other way too fast, lost it. Went over the median sideways.

Damage report:

Two driver side airbags deployed (I have no idea why, I just hit a median with my wheels). One of those airbags is inside the seat lining, so the seat is all torn apart.
Crunched Rays rear rim (not salvageable)
Rear wheel is bent about 10 degrees inwards at the bottom
No body or underside damage as far as i can tell

I think that's it.

Will this cost me my life's savings?

Now I am going to go to sit in a corner in a fetal position while rocking back and forth, crying and sucking my thumb.

omg! O.O
Any pics??

No. I was too upset to take pics. Dude, I had to suffer the indignity of having my 18 year old son come to pick me up after the tow truck took baby away. He put his arm around me and lectured me about cautious driving.

:roflpuke2:

Please remove that emoticon. That is not freaking funny. Some people have no empathy.

You must have stomped that pedal hard. Every now and then I pull a power slide just for fun but you gotta try small ones first.

We can't tell you how much it will cost because there arent any pics but the cost of airbags won't be cheap at all.

Showing off gone wrong. Sucks but at least you're not hurt. I suggest next time you learn how your car reacts at it's limit on a track.

You have to laugh it off or you're just gonna drive yourself nuts. Don't be a cry baby about it. Everyone walked away, that's the important thing.

Yes, you are quite right. thank you for that advice that came two hours too late.

I was kidding about your emoticon Bad Cop. But I am a big baby.

The thread is going nowhere with no pics. Might as well delete it.

I see we need this here!!

Op,

Glad to hear your OKay!

That the important thing

So we know your a father of a pretty old kid. I assume older people not only have car insurance but good car insurance!! Just take the hit of $40 more a half and turn that **** in! No sense droppin a few grand cash if you don't have to.

You are a hard, cold person.

Sarcasm from the guy who tried to show off and wrecked his car. :tup: Happy motoring!
