came around a very hard right hand turn and the ass kicked out on me (same thing happen in my jetta which messed me up really good)
but all i had to do is mash the gas pedal and she pulled right out of it with just a hair of counter steering on my part

don't know if anyone cares lol

haha....yay?

cburwell · 04-18-2008, 07:55 PM

You got lucky man!

**TROLL** · 04-18-2008, 07:56 PM

public roads? sounds like you should get your license pulled if you're driving like that...

drkramm · 04-18-2008, 08:06 PM

well i admit i was going faster then is suggested at the turn, i was at the proper speed for the road (doing the speed limit or a hair more definitely not speeding)

what sealed my fate was dirt that had washed over the road from a previous nights monsoon

not making excuse's though if i would have crashed i still would have gotten a ticket (driving too fast for conditions)

**TROLL** · 04-18-2008, 08:11 PM

yeah, not trying to give you a hard time over nothing... but you wrecked one car this way and now you're rolling the dice again? There are a lot of 35 and 40 mph local roads around here... none of which you can safely make a turn at an intersection without slowing down substantially.
Just be safe out there... leave the racing for the track.

Derek, there has been times where I just marvel at how awd keeps everything planted

Nothing quite like straddling the double yellow is there.

To be honest I'm amazed you had the where-with-all to not freak and hit the brake. That's what I do, balance the slide with the steering and bleed speed off with the brakes til the rear grabs again. I know mashing the gas is correct, but I'm on the brake without even thinking. You've gotta have some massive balls to power out of a slide.

not saying its ok to rip turns on public roads, but i think its more about instincts than massive nuts. after my coilovers were intalled i took a sharp turn too hard and when i felt the rear sliding, i mashed the gas and didnt smack the curb median. i felt like a jackass but during the split second of panic the only thing i thought of was dont brake
