Any pics of the wreck or the event in general?

I just ordered Zaino polish and claybar. Hope it's as good as its reputation, that stuff is expensive!

Here"s a picture that shows the road I was on. It doesn't do the curviness justice.

noob.

At least things didn't go horrifically wrong.

Yeah. It looks worse than it is also. I won't be sure until I do it, but looks like I only need to get a lower control arm and an alignment to get it back on the road. It's gonna look like shit for a while though since bodywork is pretty expensive. Especially since body shops outside of Mazda dealers won't be able to match the color properly.

Damn, that totally sucks. Is that road at least a nice ride? The map makes it look awesome, and it's not too far from me.

It doesn't though... the pictures you posted of your car is of the last generation model. Advocate posted pictures of the 2007 model which I've seen on the road. Even the 4-cylinder models get twin tailpipes.

thank you and the 2007 has a racier look for the front and rear.

The road is punishing, to say the least. Fun? Absolutely. As far as difficulty goes, it's worse than any racetrack I've been on or seen, in the real world or in gaming. It's pretty dangerous, there were about 5 wrecks on it that day including mine. If I had gone off the right side of the road instead of the left I would be dead.

Although I actually like some of the roads that are around Deals Gap better than running the gap itself. They are still curvy as hell, but a bit more relaxing and the view is better.
