So, I got my car out yesterday for the first time since October. I was driving home after meeting my family for lunch just down the street. Everything was great. The sun was shining, spring was in the air and I was feeling like a million bucks!! Untill that is I decide to make things a little more interesting by drifting around a corner. While making a right hand turn I punch the gas...hard...too hard. Back end goes way out and I am now going completly sideways down a busy road at 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon. Bad combination!! In attempts to get the car back under controle I counter steer, but again I go overboard!! Now instead of heading toward a curb, I'm heading toward oncoming traffic. When I finally get things under raps I'm driving in the oncoming lane. Lucky for me the i'm able to get back over before I get real close to hitting anyone. The person that was closest was a guy in a mini van and thank God instead of being on the phone with the cops...he just pointed and laughed at me. Needless to say I felt like a complete jack ***, not only for being so recklas but also for turning off the VDC when I had first gotten in the car!! Oh well...live and learn right?? Driving school here I come!!

You suck at drifting, if you want to practice go to a parking lot

 

At least no harm was done, happens to the best of us [or so the not-so-best-of-us tell ourselves].

My similar experience stemmed from deciding it would be a good idea to turn VDC/TCS off after driving for 2 minutes in 40 degree weather, then taking a hard turn on the gas... Resulted in my ending up in an oncoming lane, turned completely backwards. Fortunately this was at 2:30am, so there wasn't anyone around to witness my tard driving skills.

 

That was lucky, make sure to practice, and not be dumb on a busy road of traffic.

 

I'd venture to say that even if you can drift perfectly everytime, streets aren't really the place to be doing it.

 

****ing idiot

 

If I did something that stupid I wouldn't post it on on a public forum.

 

stoopid

 

Hey man, you know if you post anything remotely stupid on this site then people are going to clown you for it and more. But, yeah I did almost the same thing. I had my VDC on while busting a tight quick U-turn and the back came out, but not enough to lose total control. And my chick was in the car. He knuckles were white after that. And I think she farted. LOL!!!

 

recklas?

 

Fail...

 

You FAIL at life SON!

 

Maybe...but some stories are better left untold

+1. I'd hide in a dark corner.

Too bad there wasnt a tree nearby to stop you. It would have been good for everyone.
