Scariest experience ever.
I hit a puddle on the far right lane and lost it, spun inward & ended up driving on the far left lane...unscathed!

 

wow good luck you have last time I did that I totalled my bmw

how fast were you going

 

where on the 10 ? yikes i better tell my gf to slow down ... thats her daily commute...

 

Should of kept your VDC on.

 

tru dat

 

+1 I proved this weekend at the race track that the VDC works. I pushed the car to hard through the S-turn and ended up doing a 360+ and ended in the sand run offs. With the VDC on it saved me each time.

 

Lucky, I spun out before an totalled my car in the rain, definately a scarey experience. Where on the 10 was this?

 

Glad to hear your ok. What were you doing playing basketball on the freeway anyways? ....to many have crashed doing twisty's on the roads, including myself! Be careful!

 

Next time do a 350 instead. j/k. Glad you're ok. Drive safe!

 

Too bad you didn't have an on-board camera. Glad you and your car were ok.

 

That must have been really scary...glad to hear you're ok though.

 

That's how I totalled my first Z almost exactly a year ago on the 118 by Kuhner....and FYI: I had the VDC on

glad you're ok.

 

I saw a mustang do the same thing about a year ago, going E. on the 10, near the 710 transfer, it was crazy, he did a 360 at around 4:30pm in rush hour traffic and drove off unscathed!

 

Glad your ok man! That is scary chit.

On my drive here from North Carolina I had the same experience. It was literally raining cats and dogs. I had 2 huge trailers infront of me and I was going about 60 and I got cought in all the wash. Next thing I know I can see the cars behind me. Then I spun again and was in the median heading for the oncomeing traffic. Luckly and I mean luckly I stopped right before I entered the oncoming traffic. Should have scene the mud that flew all over the places. I was so lucky I didn't flip or end up hitting something. I will tell you what this car is made to stay on the ground. I remember when I was going backwards and I swurved the car felt so stable.

I wish this upon know one. Its a scary feeling. Life is short hope you take it easy when the roads are wet. Its just not worth it.

i spun a mazda mpv on sunset up in pacific palisades driving like 70 through canyons. didn't hit anything. after that i had a corvette that i drove with active handling off all the time and i never spun it, although i would throw the tail out pretty often (even with active handling on - its not as restrictive as nissan's) i could always catch it, and i never hit anything in the vette. Then recently i added a mrev+ to my g35 and the next day, driving with vdc off i lost the tail on an onramp and bounced off the guard rail. I mighthave caught if i had more space. anyway, i had to repaint the rear bumper but now its all good, and vdc is permanently on. I think it's weird that i did that in the G since i was used to driving the rwd vette without traction, and the vette has soooooooooooo much more torque. i attribute it to the mrev. b/c it added a lot of torque, and it was only my 2nd day with it, so i wasn't expecting the car to have that much torque.

 

Thanks for the comments. I am happy I lucked out...it could have ended VERY bad.

I was going under 50mph, getting ready to pull to my exit. I hit a puddle and that's where it all went bad. My car started swerving left to right and quickly cut inward toward the freeway, spun around & ended on the far left lane....driving normal.
I remember seeing the headlights of the cars behind me beaming right into my face as I spun. I also remember the freeway wall coming closer and closer...I really thought I was done for. I pray no one experiences something like this again.

Oh, I was going westbound on the 10 approaching New Ave.

 

yes, VDC realy helps, i hit a puddle just last week and hydroplaned for about a second before it kicked in and sent me merrily on my way

 

i hate the 10/101 area. those puddles made my dad crash into the center divider and thank god he walked away without a scratch. im glad you're safe too my friend. be careful out there people. i hate the rain...grr

 

is the 350 okay?!?!? haha jk, good to hear your okay

 

^^ that's almost the same situationed that happened to me on the Halloween Day on 60 E Fwy of this year. Except i ran over a black/wet looking surface which could be an oil or something else (going around 70mph when it happened) I was able to control the car for about 10+ yards going sideways and my rear-end took about a good 1/4 of the carpool lane then i went 360. I was really lucky IMO becuase it was rush-hour and i got out of it without a single scratch. Damn..it was my '06 350z first month anniversary when it happened lol (bought it Sept.30th)
