Ok this has nothing to do with eclipses but i had to tell you guys. About
3hrs ago i was riding home in my bros 98 toyota tacoma mini. I was
passing by downtown on I 10 in the fast lane when my fucking tire pops
and i start to skid towards the guard rail i thought about my bro and
how he had just painted it nd tinted it. So i lokked over and nobody was
coming in the next two lanes so i turned the wheel slightly to the right
and spun around a full 360 degrees across two more lanes and ended up
on the side away from traffic.I gotta tell you i got a rush outta that
then i thought god dam either that is the smartest or the dumbest thing
i've ever done. There were two unmarked cops not to far behind me and
they where there waiting when i got out to see if the truck was
damaged. They asked if everything was ok, then they said how cool
that looked and how lucky i was. Nothing was wrong with the truck so I then put the spare on and went on
my way. What do you guys think of this I've only been driving for a year
so no real practice with skids.

Jesus dude. If you really had time to look and see if there was traffic behind you, good call. But swerving over to avoid the guard rail could have been much deadlier than sideswiping the car, you know? Or you could have flipped--that truck does probably have a high center of gravity!
Thank goodness you're okay, and the cops were cool about it. Sounds like you did a great job handling a scary experience!
