Also the possibility of black ice on the road

had to be a turn.

yea he was a good guy. i never even had given him money and he would go back and forth on texts with me about different parts, options, info, etc...

hell, first time i hit the drag strip and texted him my stock time he was mad i didnt take a laptop was gonna send me a tune to my OEM setup to drop my 11.0 into the 10s. only a handful of OEM gtr's ever hit 10's and mine is one. i did 11.0 on terrible tires. might go hit it again with the cup 2's now.

agreed

in the pic the road was wet and it's def colder up there.

Oh yeah, I guess you can just lose it on a straight, too. Fckin north :shakes head:

Happened to me once, long ago. Not my favorite.

The blind curve makes sense though. Wet road exacerbated the loss of control in the AWD GT-R. I'm guessing the camera angle is from the top or downhill side of the curve coming around to the straight.

How fast were you going? My brother lost a friend to black ice in Az.

Slow. 25ish in a 40 mph zone. I was on guard because the weather was weird - raining but very cold. Descending a hill, I hit a patch of ice. Car shot abruptly to the right, impacted the shoulder of the road. Blew both tires, bent the frame of the car. I was unharmed. Cop happened to be driving just a bit behind me, pulled over to make sure I was ok. We're both on the shoulder, and a 2nd driver hits the same patch I did, comes flying directly at us. Regained control in time to miss us, barely. Both myself and the officer had a code brown moment.

Oh man, thats scary. Glad we dont have that here.

living up here also taught me why you shouldnt be 16, in an AWD escalade, and deicde to do doughuts in a empty lot with 6" of fresh snow.

had that big bitch on 2 wheels. also code brown moment.

Morning to all on this much celebrated day (4-20) in many of our open minded states...

I may just watch a Cheech and Chong movie later today.. (uh, they ain't dead are they?)

Oh well, let the Fritos land where they may...

4/20 holiday?...

oh yea.....Hitlers bday

:stirthepot:

Is it Hitlers B-Day? What a coincidence, because I heard that Rusty once dated Hitler’s girlfriend Eva Braun... Not sure if she was from PA or not, but some how he got to her... ;)

Well Damn, FP is finally right about something... I checked and it is Hitler’s BD

In looking at his picture, I bet he drove a Mustang... he just looks unhappy

(Of course, no offense intended to any of you Natzi’s out there... :ugh2: )

fun fact:

my great grandfather was the dentist for a German concentration camp here in PA lol

guess we had mini camps all around for rounding up germans here.
