Sure looked like it was on a straight section of the road. But I guess you can't really tell from the photo in that one article.

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.

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
