Hey guys, I just took a wild ride...it was about 20 degrees here and I guess my tires were hard as rocks. I came around a corner and gave it a little throttle to kick the tail out...well, it kicked like a mule and in my attempt to catch the back end before going all the way around I loaded the shocks and spun myself in the opposing direction. Pretty scary ride...



Well, I ended up with to wheels up on the median but luckily nothing was damaged and no one else was on the road. I think it's about time for me to buy some meatier wheels.

i deffinately agree do not practice on the road near medians...dont be a dumb ricer.....just go behind an industrial park and test the limits of your friction at your own pace...thats what i do and now whenever i get loose on a turn i can control it and my car remains safe thank god...peace out and keep on keepin on

Yes, you're right...I need to take it easy. I had a girl in the car and I wanted to kick the tail out to impress her as I've done a million times before...DUMB move especially in cold weather.



I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD I will not wreck a white FD
