just drove into a ditch
just went into a ditch and had to drive myself out. was merging onto a road and big tires = no displacement of water so ended up fish tailing, had it under control the whole time just easin on the gas as i would any other time. but then i hit a nice deep puddle and it caught the tires and spun me right into a ditch. yes, i felt like an ******* to. tried reversing out sence back tires were still touching road but sence it's wet i couldn't grip and i had to drive into the ditch to drive out haha, figured i would share my experience of driving to the bank with everyone
Damage report:lots of grass on the car, havn't found anything else yet. felt like it was driving a little strange but i think that might just be in my head.
BTW the material used on this particular merge spot is that soft concrete that when wet is like ice.

it's fun to drive in but only when you'r planning you'r sideways ordeals lol. ride seems find i didn't hit anything so most i could have done was knocked alignment off and with road wet i doupt suspension was straining at all when it's sliding.

sucks, last friday in my 95 Camaro, i was turning right and somehow the car hit some ice (didnt even know ice was still on the street) and spun me all the way around and right front into the curb, think i screwed the rack but its and easy fix. Steering wheel is no longer pointing straight up, but more to the left.

Easton, take it slow man, you are articulate on the looks of your car and dont want you to look for another excuse to paint another part of it!
I made that dish we were talking about over lunch the other day. I have it perfected, let me know when your free again.
