I did save myself once with a three wheel off by keeping my hands at 3 & 9. Watching a wall approach is no fun either. I came back on straight and not across the track. Knowing where straight is helps.

knowing the track and where you are=imperative...must keep your wits about you. My dad taught me: NEVER stop driving. (I.E. letting go of the steering wheel and screaming like a girl is NOT what to do!)

I too have said that my whole life. But keep driving even though you want to quit and hit reset. The last saved game mentality won't work.

Years ago my friend actually threw up his hands and waited for the impact. I grabbed the wheel and swerved away from the telephone pole and into a ditch/field. We drove out with us four guys lifting and pushing, and I was a hero initially.

He blamed me later at a party in front of others and wanted compensation for his air dam. Until my 30 year high school reunion, I never spoke with him again.

I had my car detailed this weekend. It absolutely needed it after a couple track days. I'm back to the track on Monday in style.

I had dinner with mom tonight, and as I left a Prius pulled out in front of me and I used those brakes hard. He waited at the light till it turned yellow (this is not the first time either a hybrid) and took off. I went with him through the light. At the next light he tried to drag race me to my favorite turn. I love this perfect 180 degree turn and usually get stuck behind another who doesn't see the beauty I do. I fully enjoyed this turn to myself.

Although I saw the new Jaguar F type today, it was a supercharged XK that attempted to school me on the way home tonight. When the limit hit 55 MPH he nailed it and you could tell he was surprised I stayed with him. I could see him looking at me instead of looking at the hard left approaching. He only handled the turn by cutting it, which is a no no for me on that turn. He pulled off shortly thereafter.

This left the road wide open on a beautiful warm day. I assure you I used my car to the fullest.
