it curves right between 112 and hawkins where it happened and the back just kicked for some reason. dont know why, dont know how, tried to save it, managed to avoid the car next to me but that was about it. All we could come up with was it had just rained and there was a small patch of leaves back where it thought i started sliding, with 2 spaces missing. i was just happy i didnt hit the other guy. The Z can be replaced if necessary, New Car Replacement Policy but its better than damaging another car.

Hope this does not start a million page thread but VDC ON or OFF??

We should set up a rain date cuz it always rain on Wednesday.

I think thats what they where getting at LOL.

Okay, who's coming to the meet on Thursday, then? That'll be our rain date, until further notice.

1) Arnold K.

Niceeeeeeeeeee back to work for me on Thursday.

+1

Got plans this thursday - booooo

i feel like it was on but i may have turned it off earlier (with in the same driving session) for something stupid earlier and forgotten to turn it back on

romulus what shop is the car at?

Long Island Proliner in Medford

From the way you described what happen it sounds like VDC was off unless u were doing like 130 mph. I have made turns in dry and wet at normal speeds and been able to put my foot down and keep it down and VDC keeps me in check. I feel the car rotate around but once the VDC kicks in she gets straight again. Amazing system, I almost never turn mine off.

Thursday is cool for me and my car is finally clayed Waxed and fully detailed and stored for winter. So I might just come with my gmc. Looks so clean I don't know if I wanna get her dirty. 56xx miles on her this year

thats how much i put on mine in 5 months :shakes head:

i had my z from may 2010 to sept 2011 and it had 18k on it :tup:

ok i dont feel so bad anymore :happydance:

yea, i like to drive my cars, not let them sit all the time. :tup:

Mine only has 6400 miles on it, and I've had it for 11 months now. :\

Granted the winter was brutal and I don't like driving in the rain, plus I work too much... :|

:(

Bring the Z. Tomorrow will be nice and dry. I'd like to see the car all clean and shiny - this ain't no meet for GMCs. Haha

Gmc for the win. F those jap cars. Haha. Ah I'll try it's a bitch to get it out and all but if I get out of work early I'll deff bring it

Geo its not winter yet !!!

I'm Gonna try to come Tomorrow ... Same spot as always right ?

Yes indeed. Look forward to seeing the 135, dude. I'll have my GF 335i there, as well. The Bimmer guys should be coming too.

shto za huynya

agreed :tup:

Arnold try to get the info for me from the Blue Bimmer about the interior carbon fiber wrap at college points thx. I might show up 2moro.

drift practice really helps with learning car control. it's saved my car a few times from being done for since i got it in feb. this year.
i keep vdc off unless it's raining. good luck with the car repair

i have drifted here and there and am fairly decent at it, i can do a few other simple tricks as well but nothing crazy. I managed to counter the first loss but unfortunately i only had 1 lane to do it in since there was a car next to me. i had to avoid that as well. had i had both lanes i may have been able to save it but that we'll never know. i should hear from my insurance company today hopefully.

btw thanks for all the support guys, i do appreciate it

In a RWD car VDC on or off would make no difference once the rear steps out. Wet leaves are dangerous not just because they're wet, but also because they're oily once water mixes in with them.

Once the rear steps out physics finishes the job. A pile of wet leaves doesn't provide more traction than say...ice. Especially on a slight bend.

So whos going today

i'll probably come

it is said that wet leaves can be just as dangerous as ice. ill be sure to leave the Z at home when it rains from now on hah

I'll be there.

Cool. I'll be there around 7. :)

Closer to 8 for me -

Fun meet yesterday. Good turnout.

It's getting chilly out, though. Ugh :(

BLAHHHHH too many missed meets :(

Looks like a total wash this week? Hoping it doesn't rain Wed :\

I finally have Thursday off and it will be raining on Wednesday.

i'm getting my 300zx back from the body shop today. so obviously the meet will be rained out, and likely any future meets will be rained out. :p
