I was coming home yesterday from running a few errands and just about killed myself. I twas raining lightly and I hit a slick spot at the end aof a turn. The rear end of my 7 came out to the passenger side. I managed to get some control, but I was already in the opposite lanes heading straight for a dodge minivan. When I corrected to avoid the minivan (going back into turn lane that was covered in dirt and rocks) the rear end came out again. This time it put me into a flat spin. The car went around about 3 times. It finally came to a stop in the right hand lane of the direction that I was heading. Btw I was facing the wrong way. Lukily there was no traffic coming and the minivan driver stopped to see if I was OK. Thankfully she blocked traffic to the lane that I was in. Lukily I hit nothing, not even the curb. Man this scared the **** out of me. I really thoought I was gonna hit the minivan. I think this was the most violent spin I've ever been in. I haven't been in too many spins that weren't controlled. As a matter of fact this is the first uncotrolled spin I 've ever been in with this car. Man this really sucked.

As opposed to a controlled uncontrolled spin....haha, couldn't resist Glad you are ok and didn't hit anything.

Thanks for caring. The controlled spin I was refering to was doing donuts in my friends 87TII before I had mine. It's cool when your in control, but not when your out of contol.

i do that kind of a lot. its fun to spin out when its wet bc its so easy. but not when you arent in control. and not when there are other cars around. one time the road was wet and i pulled the e brake on this 2 lane skinny road. i did a 180 and almost landed in the ditch . i was only going about 25 though.

yea that happened to me twice in the rain with my FC. one time i flew clear over a curb, ****** up the rims, next time, i was going to get new tires cause they were pretty bald. started raining slightly. took a turn and the back end came loose. luckily i got control of that one and i didnt hit anyone or anything... bald tires suck
