The car only has minor damage and I'm ok, but I've never felt so disheartened about driving until now. Am I even good enough for RWD? Should I just sell my car after I fix it? Pic related isn't my car btw.

All that said, you should have spent time at a track

and gotten to know both the car's and your limits before turning up the Eurobeat so loud you impaired your reaction time and going full dumbass

It says in the OP it's not his car in the pic.

Keep the Miata, but quit trying to be dagumi. Just be more careful next time. Don't get too disheartened. Hopefully this will be a good lesson to you.
why do retards that buy some cheap powerless shitboxes think rwd vs fwd matters?
you crashed because you're a fucking idiot. i wouldn't be surprised if you drove with bald tires because you're a poorfag cretin.
>>16084856
obviously you arent great but youll never learn unless you keep trying. You know you fucked up and will learn from it if you keep going.
The only way to be beaten is to give up while you still have a chance to accomplish what you set out to do.
When you're back on the rocks, it means you've been to the top
You gotta keep your mind together

You drive wiht little experience. Take it to the local track and practice goy.

Well he could live in an area with no track.

Fastest I went was 155 (limited)
You can probably tell what I drive kek

ENTER SLOW
EXIT FAST
WHY IS THIS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT

Sup Brad.
>>16085427
Who's brad?
OP, you should be happy you did that in a Miata and not a more powerful car. Don't do your shit when you can hit other cars, go after 2 AM or something like that. If your Miata has no LSD (or it's an old and decrepit viscous) don't Dagumi it, you're not gonna control a one-wheeled skid. Start with >>16085387 instead.
>Am I even good enough for RWD?
>implying RWD requires any special skills
kek
>>16085387
Slow car with great handling suggests avoiding deceleration as much as possible, not that inexperienced driver like OP should really try that though.
>>16084856
I feel you OP. Wrecked my 944 today, feel like shit right now. Feels like a bad dream that I can't wake up from. It was a collision so now I'm gonna have to deal with insurance, which is probably going to triple at this point. At least I have my backup shitbox.
>>16084856
I didn't know the miats had rear wheel stearing.
>>16085659
Why do you think the rear wheel is so wide.
>>16085431
Who cares?
>>16084901
>calls some car wet noodle chassis while suggesting a car that was quickly outdone by miata nc despite honda being so proud of it
muh x scissor
google the chassis rigidity, s2000 is vastly overrated
>>16084856
Nah dude just keep driving and learn from your mistakes, nobody is perfect, especially when you're new or inexperienced.
I almost drove off a mountain after spinning out, but I got lucky.
Keep going senpai worst thing that can happen is you total a 2000 dollar shitbox.
>>16085705
>Keep going senpai worst thing that can happen is you total a 2000 dollar shitbox.
or kill himself in a crash
although now that i think about it, yeah, the worst thing that can happen is that he might total a 2000 dollar shitbox
>>16085708
Who cares, he would die enjoying himself
dont beat yourself up too much

at least you didnt peg a 10k skyline into a fence and lose 5k after insurance rape

4wd system failed 4 corners before incident.
"Eh, I'm not even going that hard anyway, what could it possibly be contributing".
>400hp S1 stagea ploughs #81's lawn, 2 citrus trees and 5 fenceposts before resting at power pole
Turns out 4wd does a lot of help offcamber with loss of rear traction.
>>16084856
you live you learn op
i did the same thing with my first rwd car
go get another

That's what the ass-end of the fucking freightliner-morguemobile said.
Still got 5.6k from it parting out the engine and running gear.
