I'm just at a loss for how this even happened. I mean, it has like, the best all wheel drive ev3r.
well it would help if he wasn't trying to play cameraman while driving like a dick. but what really did him in was locking it up when he started to leave the road.
I bet that was a hell of an adrenaline rush. lol
Not sure what this has to do with Subaru as to me it was bad driving that could happen to any vehicle
Seems pretty common for people to wreck right after a tunnel. The tunnel is covered from snow, so people forget when they get back on that road after a tunnel it has ice. Notice how fast he comes out of that tunnel and right when his tires hit the exposed road is where he lost it and then locked it up all scared. I've seen it happen multiple times coming out of Eisenhower tunnel.

not argue but to argue. lol. there is no snow on the road. he came in hot to the corner and locked it up. spun and went off the road.
100% driver error.
My bad...meant ice. Overall just extreme changes in road conditions that mainly only happen from tunnels or large bridges.
I am sure the turn and blinding light may not have helped either.
Who knows, maybe just bad driving, but pointing out how tunnels can be bad news if you are not used to them.

brings to mind the old saying. when in doubt throttle out.
Right! More people need to practice before it happens. When it is icy out I purposely (in parking lots) make my car lose traction so that I know how it feels so when it happens in a emergency and I don't panic. My wife and mom constantly think I am crazy for doing this, but to me I'd rather be ready than wait and at least I know what to do when it happens. It has helped me a lot learn how to control a skid and what to do.

He was driving a Subaru, a bit obvious, actually. But, I'm just messing around man, and having a laugh at this guy's expense. It has to do with Subaru because the dude bought a Subaru, installed a few bolt-ons, then went driving his Subaru like it was ready for the tarmac stage of a WRC event. No, it's not exclusive to Subaru owners, but in this case, it applies.
I agree with you 100% that it could happen to any vehicle, though I would amend it to any vehicle and driver that has slapped on a few mods and thought he was suddenly Lewis Hamilton. The incident could also have ended any number of ways depending the skill-level of the driver, too.
It seems, and this is just my opinion, and I'm stating this with tongue placed firmly in cheek, that a dude bought a car renowned for its AWD and traction, modded it, and thought that was all it takes to go up into the mountains and drive fast. If he had been in a BMW, the title would have read: "The Ultimate Driving Machine..."; or "Audi: I got Quattro-oooh no, oh no!" and so on. It could have been any vehicle, and if it had, the title would read differently.

you leave BMW out of this!
Holy shit this guy can not drive....
Oh for sure....so many people think it is the car that makes you fast, but skills have way more to do with it....although some of these newer cars are taking some of the skill away with dual transmission, computer assist, launch control, etc. I just got into a debate
how "manual transmissions" (what I prefer) is getting more and more rare for people to drive and to me it takes more skill than using all this new technology to make anyone fast!
Same happens with sportbikes...so many people buy mods before learning to ride. Had a good buddy wreck this way who got a bike and less than a month later he had a bunch of mods on it that he did not need; rich kid. Tried to pass one of my racer buddies on a way less powered bike and got schooled that power does not equal skill.

Just came across this and thought it fit for what I said above; stick shifts are rarity now
For me it is why my wife never gets to drive my car even if she wanted too

Go back and look, it appears someone did a very similar crash in between the tunnels. At 1:10 it looks like a pair of tire marks heading towards the cliff.
I liked the M3 crash better, the rolling off the cliff had "better" results than driving straight off like a movie.

That "oh no, oh no.." That is the wording of a person that is about to DIE. The sound of his voice made me feel sorry for him. He probably shit his pants. His whole outlook in life has change for sure. Real amazing his lil station wagon is not as fuck up as you would think.
