Anyways tires were new, road slightly wet, was doing a left turn, goung maybe 10-15mph, the minute i turn the wheel, the car went SIDE WAYS. Im talking full side ways where i look to my left and made eye contact with the driver behind me.

Moral of the story, doesnt matter if tires are old or new, some just arent meant for rain. I can only imagine what wouldve happened if my tires were as old as the op. RIP me.
So true. I drive gingerly in the rain or wet and she will definitely get twitchy on corners at low low speeds like 15 20 mph

But I was driving 50 in 6th gear and I did a 720 spin on the highway from catching a groove in the road. How the **** does that even happen at 50 mph in 6th 2000 rpm???
Open differential or VLSD?
