i nearly crashed my car today...

:| coming around corners, sometimes i press the gas a little to get a little loss of traction. just to see how far i can push it. maybe too much watching those damn top gear and what not. well today it was a little wet on the road, and i didnt take that into account. i lost control. pushed it a little too far. 'loads of understeer'. and went over the curb into some poor dudes grass. so im FREAKING out. honestly REALLY afraid. i heard some crunching action and thought oh shxt there goes the bumper and in the few milliseconds im already thinking about my insurance and how to explain the damage to my parents.

huge recovery though, and i pull back onto the road and pull over. i look for damage. none. whew. i go back to where i went onto the grass... and i see how FARGIN lucky i was. i missed a lamppost by inches. literally i didnt even notice it was there. thank god for quick reflexes and maybe someone was lookin out for me? 😱 i came so close to TOTALLING the car. thats a huge amount of money. and i would lose the trust of my parents, and myself for that matter, forever.

i went back to my car and sat there for a loooong as time, thinking about what just happened. it makes me sick to my stomach just to think about it... i think ive learned my lesson. 🙁 im gonna leave the skidding for some HUGE open parking lot... or the track... and i hereby ground myself for a week. bad me. 🙁

And yes, AWD is quite amazing 🙂

What car do you own?

moi? a '91 Talon TSi AWD I love being able to take corners at 100+ and not lose any traction whatsoever. Try that in your FWD econobox 😉

huh? who r yuo talkingz 2? I do take corners @ 100+ every day on my way to school. I'm not talking about 90 degree corners or anything crazy like that, but they're certainly worthy of being called corners.

I wonder if he was trying to drift.

If you were, since you're driving an FWD you have to pull your E-brake.

It's called ass dragging when you try to do it in a FWD car with the ebrake. 😛

bite me. I've been in sanctioned races before. I have race training. I know my car, I know my limits, I know my car's limits. I have never been in an accident and I don't take stupid risks. I'm not infallible nor is my car, but all of the aforementioned factors go a long way towards making what I do safer. I drive safer @ 100 than most of the redneck Okies around here do @ 50.

LMAO! I've been registered here longer than you have. Who are you calling a newb? Irony is great 😉 Just because you have a lot of posts doesn't mean they're worth anything. Quality over quantity is what I always say. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. Flame away!
