'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

Well i wasn't intentionally trying to drift I was just... well here's my story. :P

Well I was driving down the 405 at around 4pm, as the SoCali people know, it's traffic hour. Zippin' along through traffic and all of the sudden the camry (a gold one that fucker) braked in front of me, since it looked like he was about 3 feet away from me, I swerve into the right lane, and when I did the car slid, and of course I was like ----! So I pulled the wheel the other way and slid once again. During this slide, I noticed that my foot was full throttling the gas, so I let off and tap the brake, after a couple little jerks I regain control and drove off like nothing happened.

That ---- was ------' scary. Thank goodness that the two middle lanes were empty, cause if they weren't I woulda been major fucked. :-\ That ---- gave me a little scare, I am just seriously happy that I got out in one piece.

Learned a great lesson from this too, because when I merged onto the 605, there was an integra, so I raced him a little, it was fun.

Damn life is precious.

I think the best rule of thumb is when the car gets out of control, don't hit the brakes until your back under control. It's instinct to hit the brakes, but you have to tell yourself not to. ;)

yeah i know steve, I strongly believe that me punching the gas saved me a lot. When I noticed I was flooring the gas pedal, I just let off and lightly tapped the brake to slow down a little.

Funny thing (maybe not that funny) was that I was trying to get into the next lane and after my sliding, I was in the lane I wanted.

There was this guy that kept on yelling something at me but I have no idea what he was trying to say, and I really didn't care. When I got to my destination I was thinking that I might of clipped somebody, but my car still looked good, so I was relieved. I hope I didn't cause anything :-\

glad to see the v12 is ok, oh and you too murdoc. seriously though, your life can change in an instant mang.

Re:'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

i throught ur car has stuff like traction control, slide control, vehical dynamic system(or whatever it is called)..

Re:'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

yeah renr I'm glad the v12 is okay too... I would shart in my pants for ever if it got hurt :polishes car:are you okay baby:still polishing:


I think all that fancy traction control, slide control, vehical dynamic system(or whatever it is called) actaully helped some, all except the slide control, I think that one is broken :-\

Re:'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

Damn, good thing you didn't lose control of that tank. I'd hate to see what it would do to a concrete barrier, or another car. :o :P That's a pretty heavy car to be having swinging across lanes and ----. That guy that was yelling ---- probably sharted after seeing it happen. He was just mad because he needed a new pair of underware. Did he look like Julio? ???

I have some accident prevention advice to give also:

if ur balljoint busts hit the brakes

Re:'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

i just put it into 1st and let off the clutch, that works like a charm. it forces the car to face fprward.

o thats right. i have rwd. lol.

Re:'drifted' on the freeway and almost died.
 

And an RX-7 too, you can downshift like mad in those things.

I think his Mercedes is RWD too :P
