Default That was a heart stopper!

One of those deals where you're at a light and the lane in front of you ends and you have to merge left. Have you been there?

Well, I gave it quite a bit more gas than what was needed and the back of the car spun to the left toward the PU I was next to. Then it hooked up and the car flew out front only to let go again this time spinning to the right and the ditch. It was a double wammy. I'm cranking the wheel this way and that just to keep it on the road when it finally gripped and took off.

There was smoke and the smell of burnt rubber everywhere. I can't imagine what the other drivers were thinking. Hopefully they enjoyed the show. lol

It was an exhilarating experience to say the least. I'm a bit suprised the TCS didn't kick on. I checked the tires afterwards and they're gone (3/32"). A new set of Falkin 452's are on order.

Gotta get the dual CAI installed. What a rush. This stuff is addictive!
