Just rounding out week two of having the car, I had not yet even gotten my own tags for it yet; I managed to wreck the car. That Friday on my way back to work, from a lunch break, I was testing out the car when I learned what the weight imbalance of the car would do in a heavy turn. The MR2, as you know, is a mid-engine car and because of this most of the weight is in the rear. This caused it to quickly break loose in the turn when pushed to its limits. I controlled the car for a good 200+ feet into and through the turn, and at this point I was feeling really good in the car. Then the turn straightened out and I attempted to do the same with the car, but she came back around and did not stop when she was parallel with the road, but instead she started to fish tail back and forth until she went on her own ride all the way around throwing me and my passenger into the ditch and then up on an embankment.
The car was sideways through the whole turn in what I thought was a controlled drift, when leaving the turn I over corrected or didnt respond fast enough to keep the car in my control and she went arround for a spin.
Here is where she sat when all was said and done

She hit rear passengers side first up where the guy is standing in the backround; lifted the front end off the ground and spun her around once again and slid her up the bank.

The body damage was less than minimal but the supention damage made it undriveable so we had to call the TOW MAN

He brought us home where I got to really see what had happened to her.

We have a bent strut rod and trailing arm, twisted lower control arm, ripped open eye on the knuckel assembly, cracked rotor, and a exploded strut. Estimates to fix the car was arround 1200+ for parts only so i decided to do it my self.
