Incident I had.

Just wanted to share the horrible experience I had of what could had been a major accident.

On sunday I was hanging with my friends etc and we were just running out etc. Doing stupids things. On one curve, we were doing around 80-90 MPH and I tried to pass him, however, it was a single lane street and he gave me no space whatsover, before hitting him at those speeds and saying bye-bye to the cars, I just threw myself to the left where there was a lot of weeds. At those speeds, I lost control of the car and there were some bricks left behind some construction site and I didnt want to hit them so I threw myself back into the street but still out of control and high speed, I got myself to the right side of the road in which there was a fence and then I just made a really sharp left movement to the steering wheel and my car just started spinning around in circles. I think it made like 2-3 circles, there was black smoke coming from the behind wheels and all. This all happened so fast. All I said looked like a sec.

After everything was calm, I just stayed there, kind of like a shock. Imagining that I could had killed myself or wrecked my new car. I promised to not run again, its been 2 days, lets see how long that lasts :D

Just wanted to share this. Does anyone have any dumb experiences like this?

1. Glad your car is ok.
2. Glad you're ok.
3. I hoped you learned your lesson and don't drive dumb and reckless again. Next time, you might not be so lucky. So keep it on the track.

I've done some dumb things, but not that bad. Just racing a little on the street, never reached over 100mph and never in traffic. But its still stupid and illegal.

I havn't done any kind of high speed turns or anything, but once I was driving around at 2am and hit about 118 mph :iceslolan

mm.. lol, i crashed into a mountain going 45.. :/ messed up my one light and fender. good thing i had spare lights ;D (88 formula)

a few days ago i was runnin late to work and i passed a line of 4 cars on a 45mph road and i got to the frond doin 101 GOOD THING THERE WAS A COP THERE TO PULL ME OVER.

got arrested and all that jazz
also got a 500 dollar ticket
and reckless driving
...court on the 9th

I LOVE SPEEDING
f that...havnt done it since

That sucks man. Are you going to get a lawyer and try and get it knocked down? Not sure that works though for something that high up.

lol, dude 100mph? fuck if we get caught doing that in hawaii its straight license suspension + reckless driving + court.

anything over 85 (even on the freeway, wtf?) here is 'reckless' and straight to court.

Glad you're okay dude.

Ive done plenty of dumb stuff in my 3 years of driving.. and man.. i'll tell you something, any little rush you get out of that wont be worth it when you dont have your baby to drive around in..

So try to be a bit smart next time.. only go fast in the straight.

When I first got my liscence my friends and I did tons of dumb stuff with that said I also learned alot on how to control the car and what not to do when you lose control and I am glad two last winter My wife and I were heading to school I was driving my Eclipse GSX (daily at the time) and I was doing 55 on a road with a couple inches of snow. The car in front of me was doing 20 or so so I switch lanes and pass. I go to go back and this is where the fun begins. I'm facing the mediun and still going in the same direction I was heading (car was still sliding sideways at 50-ish mph). So I chirp the e-brake a couple times to lock the back tires and put the front back where it belongs and it works too good. Now I'm facing the outside of the road still sliding sideways. I chirp the ebrake again front goes where it blongs and I tap the gas and I've righted the car. My wife said "Next time you feel like playing rally racer do it when I'm not in the car." To this day she thinks I did it all on purpose. Oh and the lady I was was in my class later that day.:smokin:

You should thank you ever loving stars that no-one else was coming the other way. Passing someone on a curve??? You should be dead.

I am no angel, but what you did doesn't even qualify for stupid.

Don't "see how long that lasts"... try: you were one in a million lucky and don't do it again. Speeding is one thing... racing on a track is another... and speed / drag racing and road racing on public roads, well... You should look at some of the threads here about how people, INNOCENT bystanders, get killed because of the kinds of things you did. You were lucky, wisen up and be more responsible.

(Wait'll Dylan sees this one!)

(Wait'll Dylan sees this one!)

I have to nice and unbias now.



:swear::


pfft, screw that, kid you should be in a box right now. And wouldn't you know, right about now is when the dirt would start settling in your grave. And maybe, just maybe the "friends" that did survive might have gotten something in their thick heads as to when and where these type antics belong.

You're doing this on a curved road and can only think of damaging the car? You don't even have the operational capability of realizing in a tight situation there's this horizontal pedal there, next to the vertical one that you obviously have no problemo finding. This pedal, unlike the other that makes the car go faster, makes the car go slower, imagine they'd put something like that in there :screwy:

You need to think long and harder about how damn lucky you really are and head the warning that life has given you, next time, there might not be a field there and even more, next time there just might be a innocent life or lives lost, to say nothing about your precious car could get damaged. Bottom line, next time should be on a track, they're out there, don't cost alot to use and hell, even get a couple professional instructions as to vehicle limitiation and recovery.

And don't get me wrong, the story itself didn't get to me, it was the arrogance in stating "let's see how long it lasts". :nono:

I hope it makes a lasting impression on you, and those who read your story, for you certainly had one of the rare ones where everybody walks away.

Well... I was thinking you would be a little more subtle considering my post, but I think you've conveyed your disapproval quite effectively. :lol:

Don't mean to sound like a preacher, but it turns my stomache upside down when somebody trots along with one of these type deals where "I was sitting at light and we pulled hard, got it up to 100" :bs: & :gives:

Heck, if you have to brag about it that bad, there is the completely off topic area of AF for it.

i mean, Jim, as you said, you're no angel, nor is anyone else with a performance based car. But, I don't know about you but, the only thing I have everdone that can't even be concidered reckless was a half block burnout, but it was controlled on a closed street, 30 ft wide going one way with a divder and noone but the firemen from the firehouse down the block (who were the ones to root it on in the first place). And sure, I'd drive a little fast here and there and let the car out a bit, but the real get on it stuff absolutely not, that's for the track.

Furthermore and a point I was trying to make as subtle as possible with a elevated blood pressure, is knowing the limits of your car. Ever since I got behind a wheel, in my neighborhood there was an old abandond factory with a huge ass parking lot. And we as kids would go and learn exaclty how far can you go to a breaking point where the cars ass end comes around on you, how hard can you corner it, stopping efficiency. Hell, I even learned on my own 2 footed driving (left foot braking). The kicker to this was, I knew the vast majority of the law enforcement there by way of my folks business. And 9 out of 10 times atleast one if not more of them were there, so it was kind of in way supervised (with pointers) and in a way applauded that we would have a 'performance' vehicle (which hell in the 80's, any car that had over 125hp was considered performance :lol2:) and learn it's ability, or make an enhancement to it and see exaclty what changed.

This story was clearly a case of inexperience, in an enviorment where it does not belong and the outcome should have been alot worse and will be next time if nothing is learned from it.

Over and out.

1. Preach on my brother... maybe these young guys will learn something, take their time and not hit my kids, or me for that matter.

2. ABSOLUTELY... I can't stand braggarts.

3. I AM no angel... However, my less careful moments usually are centered around me trying to drinking a flask of leroux's blackberry brandy while going up a ski-lift, dropping the cap, and killing the whole thing before getting to the top and trying to navigate the four or five imaginary trails I'm trying to ski-down, or some alcohol related mishap not-involving cars or firearms :grinno:, or sticking something someplace someone else don't want it to be :disappoin :iceslolan... I get a beer muscle alright... :lol: :lol2: HAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

4. Dude, blood-pressure sucks.

5. Skin of his teeth lucky... ought not to be making light of it.

6. OUT, but not over... off to do an audit on a local municipality. Check with you later.

I LOVE SPEEDING
f that...havnt done it since

I love being on time... it's a shame that half the time I have to speed to do so.

Wow, Jim and Dylan are going to town on this kid. Cary on men!

No, I don't want it to seem that way, I'm "going to town" on the moral issue.

Hard to believe, somewhere over the years, I've developed morals :uhoh:

Next thing you know I'll have standards too :yikes:

LOL.


I work in an emergency department and part time for the ambulance. One time coming back from class I rounded a corner and saw this Honda sitting in the middle of the road a two lane rural road. There was this young Japanese girl I think she was 21. Sent my friend to go check out the other two people from the other car and I went to check on the Japanese girl still in her car. I checked for a pulse and she was gone already. More than likely she died on impact. The whole side of the car was opened like a tin can. No door and went all the way to the trunk, It was raining and she lost it on a corner and got T-boned. So I am refraining from well for sake of better terms. Going to town....There are times and places to get stupid and they are not on public streets. If there was anyone coming and you killed them you would be sitting in jail for vehicular manslaughter. Probably becoming someone bitch as we speak. You were touched my an angel that day.


Edit- Don't think that you're not welcome here either. Just because we want you to learn from your mistake and not repeat it and end up killing someone.

ok
That is all

LOL.

Agreed. We're not trying to scare you off, please don't think we are. I've lost 3 friends that way, and it's NOT fun. I was your age once and did dumb things too... but realize that there's a time and a place for everything. They invented racetracks because racing on public roads is unsafe. Relax and take your time, you can show off your car and messa round when your a more experienced driver and know you and you car's limitations better. (EDIT) AT A TRACK.

I was your age once and did dumb things too... .

To be old and wise,

you must first be young and stupid

Well... then one day I should be a friggin genious.

Got one like that for when you were a complete jackass as a child?

so what, just because im young, im also stupid?

It started raining really hard and my gateway mouse fell on the ground, wood floor and..umm it ceased to exist when I chucked it into the wall. So I needed a new mouse. I drove some miles in the pouring rain to Walmart, driving was terrible, more cars than I thought were on the road, all seemed to know what they were doing but I was the new guy in town.

Now the for the fun part:
I left walmart within ten minutes of getting there, it was almost 11pm and I was really careful because I could barely see, I even rolled down my driver window and it was hard to see the road. I made a left turn to get back onto Washington Ave (main road) and got all the way into the far right lane. I was driving on the road for about a minute and see headlights, three cars...WTF, I didn’t go RIGHT ENOUGH I was on the WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. I try to move over but there’s a damn guardrail, and IT’S RAINING so we’re all honking, two of the cars change lanes from me and I get by and watch the cars just flyby!! I see cars aren’t coming yet so I 180 on the highway and slide onto the grass, get back on the road and pull back into Walmart and park. I just sit there…how am I alive. No cars stopped, no one hit each other or got into an accident, the whole time I was thinking, I hope everybody’s okay jesus christ I don’t want to kill anybody. A few minutes later, and I get back onto the road, I see the guardrail this time and USE IT to get on the right side, drive home shaken up but otherwise fine, the rain doesn’t bother me at this point. I then proceed to find my friends and tell them about it, one of them jay an ex cop so he assured me I wasn‘t in any trouble. The next morning , one of the girls I know puts a special sign on my door, Be on the lookout for a Black Nissan, 2 Door, white male driver, wanted for attempted vehicular manslaughter. So now when everyone sees that they know not to f**k with me on the road. :silly:

I thought the mentally retarted has to take the shortbus?

My oldest son is "mentally callenged" :nono:

And it is a short bus.

And Quick, Dyno, whatever the heck your name is now, :wtf: is a damn mouse worth it? Can't see, pull over. Or if it was that bad on the way to the store, and you're already there, there's this product called Rainex, works wonders:thumbsup:

ROFL RAINEX, well I've driven in worse weather before so I didn't think rain would stop me. I just didn't know about that stupid guardrail, now I do.

About my name, I wanted a good nickname and my name is Dan, so dyno fit. So i'm Dyno 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365..you get it. I also got the idea from a song by Sev.

:lol2:

I was just thinking origianlly you got some sap to buy your car :dunno:

But seriously, Rainex is awesome stuff. My wife get's pissed when it's on there and it rains, the water runs off so well I barely use the wipers.

:lol2:

IT DOES WHAT??? That's miracle stuff right there. Haha you don't turn your wipers on?

I'm like the dread pirate roberts, who wants my car next? lol

this is what happens when you try to take an american car around a corner..

But seriously, Rainex is awesome stuff. My wife get's pissed when it's on there and it rains, the water runs off so well I barely use the wipers.

heh, ditto... my brother, like totally. My wife hates it too, and I SWEAR by it. Why ruin a good set of wiper blades by using them when you really don't need to?

I haven't check on this topic.

All that you guys told me is true, it was really stupid what I did. Probably the same thing that my parents would had told me if I had told them.

Since then, I think I learned my lesson. I havent done anything stupid like that.
Btw, someone mentioned about using the brake (duh)...I did use the brake and the e-brake but when I did so, the car started sliding because the grounds were just weed and soft dirt, the car had no traction.

Thanks guys.

i wasnt there but my bro was being stupid in a wal mart parking lot.... and he hit a handicapped sign that was in a concrete pole...this was in a 1993 chevy 2500 it bent the steel bumper into a V and ripped the bumper mounts out of the frame rails , destroyed the ac condenser and pushed the radiator into the fan....and it bent the concrete pole over..busting up the surrounding asphalt about 4 feet around the pole....he claimed he was doing 20 MPH....yeah right ...this was about a month ago.......
