Well there's this road around here w hairpin turns after another... last light 12-1230 we were driving around having a good time.

Going into the corner i started slipping (going way to fast) and it was wet outside. I hit the brakes and they locked up and slid into the rail. I was going to pull my ebrake or try to down shift but i would have spun around and tagged the rear of my car.

I was in shock.. while driving home i starting balling

ha oh well. anyone have a frame straightener

sometime yes sometime no

abs does make a different in situation like this, at least you would stop straight with Pump on your car

I learned my lesson, it's like one of those situation you know you shouldnt do it but your right foot just somehow, you know..

Did the same thing a few months back when we had just gotten the first rain. I was getting on the on-ramp and was at the Apex of the turn when the car started slidding due to slick roads...let off the gas..nothing...kept slidding...hit the brakes....they lock...hit the guardrail. Driver side corner smashed.

Insurance was on the edge to fix it or not. They kept finding more problems because when I hit it tweaked everything to the pass side and had slight frame damage. So basically when it was said in done it should have been a total loss but I got lucky.

Good luck and hope they don't total it

Exactly...at least you're alive to say this.

Tell yourself..."It's just a car..."
