So yesterday during a drive that was ruined by rain, myself and others decided to have a little fun sliding around in an open lot in the rain. I don't understand how this happened, but I nailed a curb head on with the S2000. Awesome. Tweaked the core support (again, this time the other side), and gave the header a very small nick. It was actually pretty undramatic, slow, and not as bad as it might sound. My roommate Allen helped me straighten the core support today, and everything seems to be okay, the car just needs to be aligned. The bumper also has some nice rash all along the bottom of it. Sucks, the car was looking pretty clean. Things will be okay in time I guess.
I'm pretty bummed by the damage. But I'm more bummed by the fact that it happened when it could have been avoided. Apparently I still don't know when it's time to stop screwing around. I still don't have enough control over the car. I still panic in situations that I know how to control. I also looked like a dumbass in front of a bunch of my car guy friends. Nothing like hitting a curb to put your pride in check. Damnit, I'm such a fuckin' idiot sometimes.
I wish the skills I've been developing by just driving the car around and auto-x'ing it translated a little better to emergency situations. My second nature is still so wrong.
