Well, I went to Reneck Subaru here in So Cal on Tuesday. I guess they have this meet at the dealership and they give out free food and prizes. Of course I went to the last one until Feb. Well, everyone was leaving and my two cousins and friend and I were checking out the STI's on display. One of the workers jumped into a blue one and sped off around the block. We could hear him burning out and ripping turns. A few minutes later he goes and parks it in the back. He then goes to a black STI and jokingly we ask to go with him. He said he was just taking all the cars for a spin around the block to let the turbo's settle in and we were welcome to come as long as we all fit. There were only four of us so we jumped in.
He pulled off the lot and burned out. We hit 60 in no time even with 5 people in the car. Our necks still jerked back and we could feel the car pulling. Then the guy thought he could be cool and take a sharp right turn into a dark street. I was in the back middle and all I could see was what the headlights shined on. As we were taking the turn the back end pushed towards the left. Then right in front of us I saw and island so the guy turned the wheel to the left and sent the back end to the right. At this point I was wondering when the AWD was going to kick in. The guy couldn't get the car to correct itself (too much oversteer) and the right back end of the car jumped the curb and went over the MPH sign. We then fell stright down and immediately ran out the car.
We looked at the car and the back axle was bent so bad that the rear tire...or the whole rim was bent under the car. The whole back end was smashed together and the back right window and taillight were shattered.
There wasn't a scratch on us and we were all ok. I just wonder what the dealership is going to do to that guy.
