^ thats all I got... plus a small bruise on my thigh

just me involved (thankfully) too fast around a curve and fishtailed both ways, I'm 99% sure that if I had tires/swaybars I would not have crashed, I was so close to recovering from the back end going out... both ways... but obviously lost it

your an idiot...lol learn how to drive

hahah man this happened almost 8 months ago. AND the layout of the road is not condusive to high speeds (in that direction on the road atleast) due to a rise in the road JUST before the curve... and there is no posted speed limit on the ~2/3 mile straightaway before it. granted I knew the curve was there, I knew how sharp it was (not very) however at the speed I was travelling the weight of the car due to g-forces was so little that it drifted with ease....

somebody who has been a spirited driver for a while might have been able to keep their cool a little longer while sliding nearly perpendicular to the road, however due to massive body roll as the back end came back onto track, it broke free again, but to the other side... (driver side towards the pole aka not the best situation to be in when your the driver)

you have to practice driving to become a good driver, not every practice is perfect practice...

I learned my lesson, an 18.5k one with one minor injury.

I started this pic so that everyone would share their hurt............

In the hopes that they could begin the healing process if not already begun (lol)

To everyone who had had hideous accidents and lived to tell the story, I thank Scion for making such a great
product. Best Cars On The Road

considering how fast I hit that telephone pole I'd say the same, now if I had a passenger they would have died no questions asked... the outside of the passenger door came up to the center console...

I had 2 of 8 windows intact though, drivers because it was down and the rear hatch suprisingly

yeah and that only reinforced the fact that I dont do anything stupid when somebody else is in the car with me. I dont do much more then maybe 5 over the limit (when acceptable)

Yes you have to practice driving to become a good driver. But first and foremost you must realize that the car you drive is not a formula 1 race car and a public road is not a racetrack. Common sense could have saved your car in that accident. You had to have been going really fast to wrap your car around a pole like that.
