Re: Has anybody ever spun out?
Well I havent had a chance to push the car to the limits due to winter but i like playing around on slippery roads (when others arent around). Once i actually had the car 90 degrees sideways, straighten it and then went for another 90 degrees. I used to drift cars so i have no problem controlling a car going sideways in most cases but this was scary because the car was very close to the curb and i was like oh shoot, i am gonna bend my wheel.
Just a quick advice to those who aren't experienced on controlling an out of control car, especially on a slippery road. Let's say if you made a left or right turn and due to ice/snow/rain, you car under steers and heading towards the curb, don't hit the brakes because it wont do anything, you will still slide until you hit the curb or something else. Simply, give some nice gas, this will slide the rear end and your car will now be facing away from the curb or whatever is in front of you and you wanted to avoid it. a few years ago, i hit a curb and slightly messed my wheel up because of under steer in snow. But then i learned that effects of under steer can be avoided if you give some gas the get the rear end lose.
