So much for my rex...

Well I did it. The worst thing anyone coule ever do to a rex. I smashed it into a street light standerd. I was turning left at Harriet St. nere where I live and I got my shoelace caught under the break pedal and on the gas on a little bolt that was part of the rally pedels that I had on it, came around the corner doing about 60 and popped the clutch. That was the end. Second gear and full power around the corner, no time to react and found the pole. I had to tell someone. I will have pics here in a few days.

Ouch...That sucks bro . Ive been close a few times, but never hit anything (knock on wood)...I go out in a local neighborhood when its wet out (in an attempt to preserve tires ) and practice drifing and controlling my car, Ive spun out quite a few times, but luckily I havent hit anything (knock on wood again)...
