Someone was watching out for him. He could have gone a long way down that mountain. Ed

I'm actually amazed that all he said was "Oh no!" and not something more....colorful :D

That is the difference between 'city' boys and 'country' boys. The city boy says 'oh, no'. The country boy says,'hold my beer and watch this'.

Words don't do this justice! The guy wanted to listen to his turbo while going through the tunnel. I read somewhere that a bystander waved at him to slow down right at the tunnel exit, but it was too late (you can't see this because of the glare). I guess he's never heard of counter steering....


Well he did exactly what you should not do when you lose control .... hit your brakes and skid off a mountain. If he would have counter steered and/or add gas with the direction of the slide he would have been able to get the car back under some degree of control and not crash off the mountain. Again, poor driving experience along with probably not knowing the road or hazards ahead. In the end it can happen to most people, even the pros. The "oh ****" pedal aka the brakes are not meant for slides, unless you want to go into one or i.e. trail braking.

.......... and watch a pro at work :thumbsup:

Rgds, D.

I could watch Ken Block do his Gymkhana thing all night long. That man can drive like no-one I've ever seen.

As to the the OP, Sad to see a turbo Subie taken out in such a manor.
But... does that earn the Forester a sixth star for its crash test rating?
