Sounds like Traction Control is a dangerous thing. Base Models all the way!

Too bad a semi didn't crush you. Would have been one less accident thread.

You're an idiot. What he SHOULD do is sue the state for making streets that don't hold grip at excessive speeds. He would be able to take a 30 mph curve at 60 if the roads were built differently. Take the state for millions, you could have died back there!

I personally would sue the the states for not making all the roads straight.. that way less chance of spinning out due to going to fast on a curve
