take control of the drift. just let go of the gas and the car should straighten out if u catch it quick enough. Just dont hit the brakes in a spin.

glad your ok, but i think you've still got 9 lives left.

But the title says "car accident" and you didn't have one so you should of said sorry to get all your hopes up but i almost crashed when making a right turn.

one year on way to Greece my plane had hit crazy turbulence due to a storm and im not positive on what had happened, but the plane just felt as if it just dropped out of the sky and everything on the ground was flung in the air and thrown around. Was crazy. According to the captain we had suddenly hit a pocket and dropped 500ft. Been back and forth now like 67 times never happened again.


Slow motion i looked around for a hot chic to go out in a bang with.

None were on board after i looked when the hysteria had calmed down.

You have to be careful with any type of rain/snow or in any type of driving. I think sometimes you are given a false sense of confidence. The way I look it as even the best of the best drivers such as in Nascar still get in the same type of accidents.

When I saw the water, I was like, holy sh&t, he a$$ end came hard left and I over corrected and it came hard right, bounced off the right side curb, spun around in a clockwise directrion and ended up facing the wrong way with the a$$ end up on the left side curb about 6 inches short of the guard rail that separated the off ramp from the on ramp...

THAT was when I thought I was in pretty deep trouble... Thought / felt like I wrecked the Z. Luckily, no one else on the ramp as it was late. Tore up the right rear suspesion and wheel but that was it.

I earned a healthy respect for wet pavement and blind corners.
Thats why the speed limit on off-ramps is usually between 15-25 you were haulin ***.

I thought I was going slow but I guess I'm wrong. The funny thing is I've been driving on this road for so long and this is my first time it happened to me in my life
I'm so glad that I'm okay and yeah my Z too. I thought I know how to drive stick well but I guess I'm wrong on this one too =(

I just want to say that drive safe and specially when it's raining.


Yogi.
Rain + stupid driver = accident.

When it rains you are suppose to be easy on driving and not get on the gas hard to cause your tail to come out. And no the car doesn't do it, you did it.

At least you learned but didn't hit anything.
