So, I went to the norcal JDM theory meet. I was one of 2 6gcs there, but if anyone goes on any other car forums, particularly evo forums, you'll probably hear about some "dumbass ricer in a celica"
coming off the freeway onramp only a matter of blocks away, I was trying to keep up with the EVO in front of me who was going pretty damn fast. well, somewhere around 60-70 mph on this 35mph offramp my car car lost traction and I started sliding FF drift style. now, all of a sudden the weight transfer throws my car in the total opposite direction, the car jumps over a curb, and according to my friend driving behind me, all four wheels were over a foot of the ground at one point. I flew over the small dirt embankment (a good 3ft drop.) and was now going the wrong way on a one way onramp... lucky for me there were no other cars coming that direction. anyway, I pulled over in a parking lot to examine the damage. honestly, there is some scratches on my front bumper, and the center crossmember is pretty scratched, other than that, no damage. I was EXTREMELY lucky. I was also the laughing stock of the entire show. but I'm alive, and my car is alive. and I think I'm going to start driving more careful now. the end. go ahead. criticize me, I deserve it. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

yeah.. we all do dumb things.. but what's important, like everyone said, is that you learn from it.
i was a 'ricer' at one point and i tried going through a small S-curve with my old car leading out of the freeway.... in the snow. i managed to do it going 70kms with my 4th gen when it's only a 40km/h exit before but i tried it again another day and i did the first curve no problem but then i was too much at an angle that i couldn't countersteer enough to do the second.. i was a going outside off the desired line and ran up the snowbank from the front tire only and back down on the road.. checked to see if there were any damages and luckily, there was none.. i learned from my mistake... ... now i only go 60 kms... lol. j/k -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
