lol, doesn't look that bad.

and this is why oversteer is better than understeer

lol, doesn't look that bad.
It's not exciting as far as crashes go, but it's my first so it has that special significance

personally I'm glad it doesn't look worse

when I'm in a car and it brakes I panic, crashing must have been worse

and this is why oversteer is better than understeer
understeer definitely would have been better in this case

surprised the tire bead still sealed with that huge dent, tire still has air in it from the looks of it.

but I guess that's the least of your worries if the steering got racked

understeer definitely would have been better in this case

Given that it's front wheel drive and I'm used to correcting simulated oversteer, I'm not sure that's true.

But if I was oversteering and hit the curb sideways, that could definitely be worse.

depends on a lot of factors.



RIP teneksi's rim
sequel to pacific rim
eksi WILL hold back the kaiju
with his driving

anyway i hope you were fine and i hope replacing the tire isn't expensive c;

Been driving for 4 years and never got in an accident. Besides crashes when im racing stock cars, ive been in plenty of those.

ive seen worse
like one time i died in a car crash
wait forget im dead
:(

Bro, if you were going 10mph faster than you "should have" this should never happen. Something is wrong with your tires. Either they're too low on pressure (I can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like you might be a little low) or you straight up need new ones.

Also, in a FWD car if you lose traction the solution is to accelerate. Accelerating pulls your car in the direction you want the body of your car to go in.

"this" being the tires sliding; if I'm moving significantly faster than I should to be capable of taking a sharp turn, the tires should never slide?

I don't understand this
