Yes'sir.. that's how the KY boys do.. haha

I hydroplaned on the highway (64) once and was in the left lane, facing straight at the medium and pulled it back.. I was just barely going the speed limit, it was just raining buckets..

I have done domething like that. Was about 50mph but it wasn't AWD either. Only took one time facing the median not 4.

That is some nice driving!
Nice driving for sure, but he over countersteered thats why he went back and forth to the maximum angle like 4 times or whatever it was. Thats what happened to my buddy too, your not suppose to turn it all the way curb to curb when counter steering

Ok killer. I'm sure you're the world's best driver. The guy was completely
caught by surprise. WTF do you expect him to do...follow the textbook
definition of countersteering? Give me a break.

Dude no offense but until you do something like that and get it on video STFU. There is a huge difference between 50mph and 90 mph in those situations. Watch that video real time and tell me you could have done better. You hit a slick in a turn at almost 100 mph and managed to save the car you are a bad ***. End of story.

This was you wasn't it?

AWD, your really just supposed to power the car in the right direction. If it was a RWD then he probably wouldn't have saved it. Great driving, props to that guy.
