Damn, that sucks! As a former 2005 STI owner myself I feel for you. Must have been even worse watching somebody else wreck your car!
Just further reinforces what numerous friends and hardcore open track even guys have told me over the years: never track a car you can't afford to walk away from. As much as I wanted to do some trackdays in my car I never did... it was my daily driver and if anything bad happened at the track it would not be covered by insurance and I'd have to eat it.
Can't wait to see what you come up with this time. Just don't let the same guy drive it!
Now I'm having flashbacks, I miss my Subaru. It was the best "all-around" car I've ever owned.
