The weakest part of any car, be it a fully built race car or a broke geo metro, is always the driver! The driver chooses to drive with worn brakes, the driver chooses to speed into a corner with worn brakes, the driver listens to the passenger because he thinks he might get some later (hopefully he got a sympathy F*#K), the driver listens to his dick . . .
Sure some accidents are unavoidable, but when it is just you, your car and a corner it is definately the driver's fault alone.
It wasn't your girl's or your brakes fault, the sooner you learn that the better driver you'll be!
Take responsibility for your actions, don't blame others--it's one of life's hard lessons, but no one died and the only thing busted is your pride and your car.
---Steps off soap box, becomes polite again---
Sorry about your car.

"Now, this is really quite simple, ok? Understeer works like this: you drive down the road, turn the wheel, but the car goes straight on, crashes into a pole and you die. Oversteer works like this: you drive down the same bit of road, turn the wheel, but the back of the car comes round like this, and you go off the road, crash into a pole and you die. Now, oversteer is best, because you don't see the pole that kills you."
