Actually it was the house that held up pretty bad. That's cheap cookie-cutter homes for ya.

Anyway, that idiot deserves it. He was doing something stupid and is lying.

Plus, that's what he gets for having fake Volk Racing wheels and a Porsche turbo badge.

Anyhow, even though this car is probably totalled, it shows you how well it was built....along with maybe some second-rate construction on the house.

With the steering, brakes, suspension, tires, and AWD that are put into STi's, this guy must have REALLY been driving with his head up his a - - to lose control of a car like this.

Still, we WONDER why insurance on these cars costs so much. ....there's your answer.

I don't see him being happy with his insurance quotes anymore. That's worse than the one I posted earlier!

Turns out he's had two other wrecks in the past year too. He's 18 and is obviously clueless.

Wow...I wonder how he found an insurance company that would even insure his just-wrecked car in the first place.

Such idiots should have been taken away from their driving privileges long ago.

Oh it gets better...

Here's a link to a video showing the path the driver should have taken if he continued around the right hand curve. What he did instead was try to turn left on the side street (I figure he didn't think he could get around the right hand curve) and then he went across the lawn of the house on the corner and straight through the garage.

This shows it better: (WAIT FOR THE ANIMATION!)
