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 |

man, i do reccommend expending your tires before you get new ones.
learn how your car handles, what to do at certian points. my point is most of us have had some close calls, and we handle them better the next time we are in the situation. it is good to see what exactly your car can do. sweet story, i wish i had it on camera, i was going straight, and a lady was turning into me (probbally going 20-both of us, thru an intersection). i knew she was going to clip me, so i yanked the E-brake and threw the wheel left D-shifted and she missed me, i somehow pulled it out and continued through the intersection! haha and i would have NEVER thought of that, or pulled it off if i hadnt wasted rubber messing around after work with my buddies on e-brake slides. i would have a big dent in my rear end and a lady feeling retarted. what i would do to get a video of it. ya, but definately if you can learn you car a little more, its educational and pretty fun. -------------------- |
