it was a long night, last night. my friends and i decided to skip chinese tutor last night and go for some bubble tea....and so we decided to go to this place beside the Vancouver air port after the bubble tea. and so we went..it is a twisty road like "finland rally", i dont kno if u guys seen it but it`s really long and our car (I30t) is capable of doing 170km/h there.
...when we started to go in we were all happy and seeing that the car can still skid (front weels @ WOT) at 120km/h...we thought that was pretty cool....but we started to notice that the rain has started to turn into snow...and we are hydroplanting like 5 times in 1 second.....we started to slow down and decided to turn back.....and so we did....and when we went back my friend decided to give this turn a last try to see if he can get it over faster.....130km/h, we fishtailed and went right into the ditch of the in comming lane, next thing we know is that we are choking in smoke....my friend`s door cant be opened.....we panicked, kicked the door open and took out the keys....i cant say n e thing cuz wen we hit, the seat belt knocked my chest too hard and i cant breathe really well......later we found out the car slipped just before the finish of the left turn and when we hit the dirt on the in comming traffic, the car flung over the our side of the ditch and we did at least 3~4 360 degee turns...but we didnt flip as in upside down.....police said we were lucky we didnt hit a pole and the brick wall of the ditch that the ditch ends...
thank god we are still alive.......

Don't thank God, thank random blind luck. Thanking God does not do justice to all the good people who die every day in their vehicles. You could just as well assume that God was the one who created the conditions that caused you to wipe out and therefore you should be mad at Him for messing with you. It's all in your perspective. Your friend took too great a risk and ended up doing what a sensible person would not have done. What happened was not an accident as far as I am concerned. It was an act of immense stupidity. Sorry if I'm being too harsh.

But you forgot to mention people who don't credit God when things go right

My 2 cents here bobo_80,

it's really not about speed, but skill that makes a good driver. (this ddoesn't mean I'm asking you to speed..!! don't take me wrong)
and pls pls, don't speed. I don't want to be your mom, but YOU really got to UNDERSTAND that you have more to your life that speeding thru winding curves and long straightaways w/ your friends.

Hope you don't take my comments as anything more than just a fellow AF member reminding a AF member something they may not see..

Plus, the last 2 days of snow in Vancouver, don't let ur friend or yourself do anything stupid out on the road, 'kay?..

Cheers,
xterrasesc

PS.. You and your friend are damn lucky to be alive and breathing.. drive safe..

yeh....well i know it`s just not about speed...but it`s compareson...
.....i dunno y i think this way, but u know when u get kinda
(jelus)<did i spell that right?<....n e ways...yeh, i wont go and race them, it`s just that i feel more confident driving a car that can catch up on them.....if they decided to play a prank of just speeding away...

cuz everytime we get on a highway we play this prank with my cousin's
318i....he gets pissed

well we dont go that fast...just around 140
~150kmh
ohh well.....the I30t guy now is a officially a I35 guy..

..
..and as for me...next year i`ll be a 6 speedo guy....
