So I'm fabbing a turbo manifold when I hear...
...Tires squealing from loss of traction......a pause......and then CRASH!
I grab my camera and run to the end of my street where it intersects another road, and maybe 100 yds from that point I see a nice silver STI.
Pics here:

Sorry I couldn't get any closer. I didn't stick around for the cops or tow truck since I had things to do but the fire dept. was there in maybe 4 minutes.
The girl you see in the pics was driving and it wasn't her car. She was crying like mad and she said " I can't believe I wrecked their car!" along with "Why in the ---- is he (me) taking pictures!?"
One of the guys that lived a few houses down said she was doing every bit of 60mph (35mph zone) when passing him and it sounded as though she had the throttle fully open. His house was maybe 70 yds from the impact. Mine is much further and I could hear the acceleration before the squeal.
Anyhoo, just thought I would share.

Hmm, not sure why the link wasn't working but evidently it is now.
The road forks to the right (and it's fun to take at fairly high speeds) and then sweeps to the left and straightens. She must of lost it when making that left sweeper.
I really don't know how the drivers side looks. I'd be surprised if it's unscathed.
