Being a mature and seasoned 61 year old man and as a modded MK7 GTI owner, I gotta say it's just sad that some young men buy performance cars and drive them beyond their skill level on the public roads. Fortunately this young man did not injure an innocent and walked away from this nasty crash.

@@bxrnl2114 Let me rephrase, Imagine thinking a modern 230hp hot hatch takes a lot of skill to drive. You have to be absolutely braindead to crash one.
I own a MK7 and can tell you the stock ride height leaves a lot to be desired on demanding mountain roads with all their weird angles and twists and bends. I lowered mine with the H&R 1.3" drop and it feels like a whole new car on the mountain roads. There is no roll, just stays flat. I can also say if you put a wheel off on these roads, there's so much debris and no shoulder, so you're screwed if you go off too. Glad to see your buddy is good. The car saved him no doubt. RIP to the Rabbit.
If u upgrade your rear sway bar it completely transforms the driving experience in the twistys. Had neuspeed's rear race sway bar on my Mk7 and vwr springs was the best combination in my opinion

Props to the GTI. I had an unfortunate run after years of clean driving and totaled a mk7 and a mk7.5 a year apart. Bags deployed both times and I walked away unscathed from each incident. They will protect you if they need to. I can attest to that and here is another example.
Insurance company totaled my mk7 with a fender bender that basically ripped the bumper off because this 18yo took an illegal left turn right in front of me. I was going 30mph but all airbags deployed. Rip
I had a brand new '08 Rabbit S 2.5 back in the day, I went out the same way on the twisty turnys by my mom's house in Northwest NJ. After I totaled that, I got an '06 GTI MKV w/DSG, so hearing you reving it gave me crazy nostalgia. Props to you for keeping it up and running this long.
We went crazy with that car before it met an untimely death as well … I documented the whole thing on the channel if you want to take a look. We went from stock all the way to k04/ water meth and whole lot of other goodies.
Once upon a time, I had a Mk 2 GTI. One day, after work, I followed my coworker home to visit his house. He was in an old early-1980s Mercedes sedan. We got the 270-degree cloverleaf exit curve and he just left me in the dust; just gone-gone. If I'd tried to keep up his speed, the GTI would have lifted the back wheel and spun out. It wasn't even close. Later I bought the cheapest Mercedes (C230 Kompressor sedan) and it easily outperformed the GTI is every respect. Never looked back.
my first car was a handmedown 05 C230 Kompressor and it was fully loaded from factory with the black interior. truly a slept on car. completely stock with sticky 255’s and it handled insanely well. i almost couldn’t believe it.
That was a beautiful car! Driver is very lucky, as all those airbags did their job really well. This really puts things in perspective, as I realize how careful we all should be.
I was so damn glad your friend made it out alive. Accidents happen no matter how good the car or driver is is. Just glad he didn't get badly injured or killed. Those twists look insane also.
Lol this is no 'accident'. This is the result of stupid choices like speeding and racing on public roads which is illegal. This is the immaturity and stupidity of youth. The good thing is that this idiot did not cause some head on collision that could have killed an entire family in their car. All thanks to his pea-sized brain. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
What? No mate, accidents happen when you drive like a DH on public open roads, rather than going to a track. This guy ego overtook his driving ability.
I don't feel bad at all for him, unless he was just casual driving. There is a reason Touge driving they inspect roads and conditions prior to actually doing a run.
well let's just say pushing the envelope versus keeping thick margins. But I keep the margins thick because I am older and have screwed up before. Of course on a track shit happens but it doesn't sting as bad so there's that: stupid to go crazy on a narrow mountain road.

Fwd and Awd cars have lots of understeer on roads like this, that is a bad thing for those not use to the road. You can over heat the front tires and brakes way faster then you would think. Its best to pull off and do a cool down after hitting it hard.

@@Gizmosis_ You're absolutely right! I almost went for the DSG too, because I heard it's such a good transmission, but I specifically wanted a manual. 4 years later, and every trip out is still a blast. Any excuse to run an errand and run through those gears lol
I live up by dahlonega can't find anyone to drive with. Would love to cruise if you're tryna. Got a Volvo S60, definitely not made for curves and it's definitely not fast but it can sling around some curves.
This can be fixed tho it aint that bad, looks like it held up pretty good, suspension drive shafts haldex change mby trans and body work will be costy but better than throwing it away. This also a problem with modern cars cause anyone can hop in and think they can control the car but that just lasts to the point where auto system have your back, that guy looks like some IT guy who never really got a hang of driving a raw car and was pushing computer to its limits
Once all the airbags go, I think most commongly the car is totalled, as only that amounts to several thousands. Add to that the body damage, lights, an chassis damage, and that other things that always apper, snd I think here we are looking at a 15.000+ bill easily
Yeah not a good idea to speed around those corners like that but I must admit I do like driving these kind of roads to test out my AWD system but man just not too fast glad the driver was alright though
I drove my stock 2015 on this same run a couple years ago and it does fine if you respect your limits and those of the car. Some parts of that road are no joke
Don't drive like a DH on public open roads, take it to a track. This guy's ego overtook his driving ability. You are lucky you didn't hurt yourself or anyone else. Slow down and drive to your level of ability (a lot less than you think obviously) and the conditions.
and that is the problem with dirt for kerbs, as soon as your tyre hits the dirt you are pulled into the dirt, and there is nothing you can do to stop it, so don't cut corners on dirt kerb roads, This guy obviously didn't know that dirt grabs your wheel so strongly it is like one side of the car is braking and the other isn't, NB Golfs can be made into good cars but stock golfs are not good cars, far from it, best for girls' shopping trips,
Classic case of coming into a turn too hot and braking mid corner :/ Glad he’s okay. Ngl this is the day/incident that made me start going to the track.

and that is the problem with dirt for kerbs, as soon as your tyre hits the dirt you are pulled into the dirt, and there is nothing you can do to stop it, so don't cut corners on dirt kerb roads, This guy obviously didn't know that dirt grabs your wheel so strongly it is like one side of the car is braking and the other isn't,
NB Golfs can be made into good cars but stock golfs are not good cars, far from it, best for girls' shopping trips,
Whodda thunk it, dirt on the road can cause loss of grip, well spotted Sherlock.
dont get how this happened tho
HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA 😂
I'm glad he's ok, but don't do that sort of stupidity on public roads.
Destroyed a nice GTI 🤦🏽♂️ I’m an older Gen X Golf R owner and 80% of the time behind the wheel I drive it normally
better on the race track, safer for other road users
I agree that racing around on public roads is fun, free and convenient. People who opt for HPDEs trade money for safety, and to minimize variables.
Another cornflower blue GTI down...
Not one straight panel left on it, good job. Nice car ruined.
All part of the game but glad he’s good
As my dad always said. If your gonna crash, crash on a good day
😂😂😂
What do you mean on a good day? To not take the loss as bad
@@kippkewish9626 on a good day, is when it’s not pissing down with rain, so you don’t get wet
A gastarse unos cuantos dólares y lo importante que el piloto esté bien!
Classic case of coming into a turn too hot and braking mid corner :/
Glad he’s okay.
Ngl this is the day/incident that made me start going to the track.
Yesssirrr !!
Thats one sad gti 😢 I have GTI 6 and crush it to very very sad moment
Blood Mtn. is a great run, but it looks like this happened on Wolf pen Gap (S.R. 180) glad all are ok because the gap aint no joke
typical gti driver
As some one who searched so hard for that rare color, this is so sad. May the rabbit rest in peace
Not that rare after they released it in 2020 again.
Urano grey and great falls green the only somewhat rare colors.
Wie zoekt die vind !
This shit always be in automatics I swear
Why wo dont see the crash? Looks like kind of clickbait
Watch the video to the end 😂 … this was not planned trust me.
