Saw an awesome spot to take pics, so I had to pull over and take a few....

Well I was driving down the road today in this beautiful weather we are having in LA. And I saw this great spot to take some pics, so I had to pull over and snap a few. *








I was driving down the road going about 65 and I could see there was rain up ahead, so once I started getting a drizzle on me I took my foot off the gas to slow down, cause it was getting bad fast. Well I was probably going about 55-60 when I felt my rear end slide to the left. I turn the wheel to correct it but it happened so fast it was already too late. I went backwards and was going towards the right side of the road, which had a steep ditch and would have probably made me flip. But I was actually able to do a half assed reverse 180 and go sideways into the median. You should have heard what I was screaming. :rant: I saw there were no cars coming behind me so I trued to back out, because it wasnt that steep on that side, but up front it was steep as hell. I backed up and it started spinning after a foot or two, so I went forward and started rocking it, but I eventually just got stuck.

Well I didnt want to get out because it was literally POURING down outside. So I called my mom and told them to talk to their buddy who has a wrecker because I didnt have any cash on me. Then I called 911 and they said someone had already called and a cop was on the way.

Well, not one, but TWO cops passed right by me. And I was very visible. lol I went in the median at 5:10. Cops didnt get there till about 5:45 and the wrecker didnt get there till about 6:30. I was checking out my car the whole time looking for any thing messed up but luckily I got away with out a scratch. just a dirty car and some grass around the axle. And there were tadpoles swimming around my front tire. lol.

Im glad I didnt mess up my car or me though.

 

Yea, it could have been alot worse. If I wouldnt have gotten it sideways I would have kept rolling and went into oncoming traffic, and if noone would have hit me I would have kept going into a deeper ditch filled with trees.

 

Im changing my tranny fluid and u-joints this weekend, so Ill get it good.

And the fact that the middle of my tires are completely bald didnt help. lol. I have one Nitto 555R sitting in my room. Im just waiting for the other.

I told myself the exact same thing and laughed when I got out of the car. lol

No, he just put a hook around the rear and pulled it out fine. No damage. He was bitching about how much he hates low cars though. lol

And I run Sumitomo HTR-Z's. They do fine in the rain untill they are getting bald. mine have a 3 inch slick strip in the middle. ???
