rain+boost=not fun
damm rain.. hate rain and no abs..and balding tires.. f*ing car and freaking people who can drive and dont signal to switch lanes and still continue and try to run you off the road
 i was driving on hilside after picking up my sister i was going realtivly slow about 25-30mph speed limit is 30 on hilside and i was making about 5psi not much.. so i see this damm corolla slowely drifting into my lane and i honking and hes still comming so im forced to hit the breaks so i wont clip his dumb ass.. so i hit it and start to slide, just my luck a damm buss is pulling off as i start to stop.. damm it if that damm bus would of stayed put my car would be fine.. so as i start to slide to a stop the car is pulliing to the bus and the bus clips off my passanger side mirror! damm bastard.. so now im down a passanger side mirror, it sucks, i feel dissappinted in my self that i couldnt stop fast enough. it could of beeen worse, i could of wreck the car.. thank god its that minor. lesson learnt watch out of ass in the rain that can drive and go extra slow and STAY OFF BOOST! 1

Re: rain+boost=not fun
Dang Mang....that does suck! If I had a violin I would play you the worlds saddest song...but I don't. But you are right, things could have been much worse. You could have clipped your front end, or something much worse. I say praise the bus driver for not pulling out any further than it did.

New tires, new tires. Balding tires and you were still at 5psi and in the rain, ouch. That's like asking to be kicked in the nuts a second time again to see if it did really hurt the 1st time. At least you and your sis are ok, and it was only your passenger side mirror.

Re: rain+boost=not fun
did the bus driver get your license plate or did you get any official accident report...because here in NY, if you have an accident with a school bus...they just love to add points to your license.

Re: rain+boost=not fun
Heck I have good tires and I was boosting 5psi on my drive back from class today, and my rear end kicked out twice, not too badly though, just enough to wake me up...

Re: rain+boost=not fun
I don't touch the boost. I have traction problems up to 45-50mph on dry roads as is. Open diff is not fun. In the rain, I will lose traction in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Not fun, well kinda fun.lol Really sorry to hear about the car. You gotta watch for the stupid fucks that don't check thier mirrors. I have had numerous encounters with them but thankfully no wrecks. Should have got his plates but I imagine that was the last thing on your mind at the time. Plus the rain factor. You live, you learn....

Re: rain+boost=not fun

you should see me in the rain. hahah i can't even see!!! for some wierd reason rain drop likes to stick on my side view mirrors and wipersblades are shot. so i have to like triple check blind spots and whatever's left of my mirrors before i cut. also i the rain. i never and i mean NEVER follow anyone that close. you have no clue how many times on the highway in the rain where we're all goin around 70, then all of then sudden the whole highway comes to a full stop in the rain!!! and my car would slide for a good amount even with threshold braking.
you live and you learn. better luck never time andrew

Re: rain+boost=not fun
Yeah, forgot to add, no hard feelings, my friends prelude got totaled by a semi when he spun out on good old canadian ice. And trust me, it was the LOVE of his LIFE. He addored it. I'm sure he knows exactly how you feel.

Re: rain+boost=not fun
just yesterday my GF spun out doing about 30 MPH on a off ramp in the rain. I one time spun out on I75 during rush hour traffic at about 80 MPH, lucky for me after doing a few back and forth slides i just slid of the road into the grass in the middle. Only damage done was a flat tire from rocks and dirt getting shoved into the wheel.
