Mel, I never doubted that this does not happen to you.

Must be all of that race car training.

Drifting maybe?
yesterday early morning at approx 06/03/09 3:30am i was on the 5 fwy southbound from los angeles. I then went onto the 10FWY towards san bernandino interchange ramp. at the curve i spun out as i exited.

i should have been more aware of the road conditions. i think i was doing about 45 - 55 mph.

after the point of rest where the car finally stopped and ended.... 2 cars drove past me.... no one stopped.......
i guess i'm just glad i didn't get T-BONED while spinning out.

Did you go to art school? If so, and you know how to get ahold of her, tell that blonde who chain-smoked Marlboro Lights that I want my Frank Black CD back please. Thanks.

PS: I don't have the pillowcase she gave me, but that was a gift anyway.

Correct$ DSC will only save you if you are just over the margin of losing control. If you head into a corner at a speed grossly over what the car and handle to mke the turn, you are screwed, DSC or not.

That's wht my driving style with a dry road is dramatically different from a wet road. I really grandma the car in the turns when it is wet. And I keep my speed down when going straight. It can get ugly real fast if your car hydroplanes.
