yeah I learned that the hard way in a Scirroco on Woodward one night in the wet when trying to take a turn around too fast years ago....kept trying to grab lower gears to slow me down but wasn't enough. Those curbs can be pretty unforgiving. One new stamped lower control arm later and I was good to seek out other curbs.
I really did like that car...great balance for a FWD car...the early style designed my the famous master Giorgetto Giugiaro whose body of work makes Chris Bangle look like a cartoonist.
