this morning drivng to work, there' s this two lane right turn that I always take... So today there was this M roadster next to me taking that turn.. we both go around it.. but for some reason my back end came out a bit and I narrowly miss hitting the curb.. I take that turn, sometimes even hard, everyday, even in the rain.. no idea what happened, maybe I went a bit faster than usual and ran over a somethign... who knows.. what way to start off the mornign feeling like a dumba$$..

 

That can catch you offguard. I guess good enough reason to have two hands on the wheel. If its as wet there as it is here today, you can 'hydroplane' very unpredictably somedays!

 

yea.. except today the roads were bone dry! I'll just say I "dirtoplaned"

 

it happens

 

im sure you'd feel like a bigger dumbass if u crashed your car..

 

yea, thats what I thought. Took some self control not to overreact and look where I wanted to go, not at the curb.. I'll be putting around a notch slower for the rest of the day today.

 

i think we have all been in that situation before, the best thing is the no crashing part

 

yeah if you are in a situation & you manage not to crash, its a build up of experience

 

Yikes. Thats even more unpredictable...

 

Yeah dont like dirtoplaning much either . . . Embarrasing is doing a mad burnout with the windows down , tops off and traction control on than catching a red light 10 feet down the road and having a half dozen people stare at you wondering if your qualified to operate the car

 

lol ouch! i hate that one! happened to me once before

 

yea that happened to me when i first got the car. stupid traction control
