Lol, almost pulled a Travis
Damn, scariest moment of my life. Last Saturday I was taking the Hazel Ave. off ramp coming from Folsom, I took the first turn ok, then the last turn is about 25mph, but I was going about 80mph or so. The car started to slid and I tried to steer out of it, and well, it was all over from there, see the pics.

Lol, ya it was fine, once it was towed out we drove it around a parking lot and inspected it, then I drove it home and everything is perfect, it's a thirdgen miracle, lol. The thirdgen G*o*d*s were watching over me.

HOLY **** was that a close one! 
If it was raining you might not still be the proud owner of it and having to deal with shady insurance companies (like I did).
Was the Mrs. in the car? I bet you'll never hear the end of that

Vin, I was alone in the car when it happened. It sucked, cost me $220 to have it towed out, and ya I still have not heard the end of it, lol. Oh well, me and the car are ok, and I got a set of new tires out of it.

Thanks Aaron, glad to hear you are coming up for the Tahoe meet. It will be good to see you and your car again, it has been a very long time.

The important thing is that you and the hot rod CFI are still in one piece.
Would I park my car on a dirt embankment for a new set of tires? WITH BEER?
YOU BETTER BE-***'N-LIEVE IT!
So I say good work Big Willie Style!
T$$$, Turns at 80 are fun!!! (when you have z-rated tires that is)

I swear, our cars are like sleds in water/snow. I don't even go past 2K revs when it's damp.
Glad nothing bad happened...

Lol, you guys are funny. It's amazing how all of the sudden everyone is a expert driver in this post, like they have never done anything stupid before, especially when you are young. Anyway, yes it was retarted, but I did learn my lesson, so no harm done except for a $220 tow bill, lol.

Ummm... I had a 01 lifted Silverado dual cab and flipped it back in Nov. of 04. I walked away with a few bruises and a major headache b/c of the *** chewing I got from my folks, but I was alive and kicking.
Haven't done anything in my Firebird that's been MY fault... Did get hit back in Oct by a little old guy who tried to run away but I chased him down... He gave me 500 cash and than took off.
An ex boyfriend was F'N around a bit too much in his 70 Camaro and got us in a wreck. He was driving...
But nope... Never drove any car off the road. Flipping+driving= different. LOL.

My IROC is good luck because it was already wrecked before I got it so it wants to stay out of trouble.
Turns at 60 max? pfft I'll take turns at 100+ ask some of the other folks on the board, quite a few guys have been for a ride in my car and joined the "OMFG vin just tacked out the speedo (crap themselves)" club, some are board members haha.

BTW, turns at 100+mph? Yeah, you're freakin' nuts. Like my boyfriend. That's why he NEVER, I repeat, NEVER drives my car. Atleast with me in it. I'm beautiful. And getting in a car wreck could possibly wreck my gorgeousness. LOL. Just kidding!

OUTATIME GTA, Ouch! You hurt my rather gigantic ego... NOT. LoL.
Besides, I was just kidding.
Brandon, yeah, I'm like 75% Northern Italian. The other quarter is Spanish. How I came out blonde hair green eyed... Your guess is as good as mine. (Maybe I was adopted. LOL)
