Damn buddy. I think some drivers need that moment to knock a little sense into them I was one of them. (I once had a ford focus and thankfully no one was hurt) Glad you made it out fine Just have to learn to relax behind the wheel a bit. I think this will go on my list of reasons to not build my car I’ll abuse the hell out of the power 😕 and I don’t wanna pull a russian. > [@beckington](#): > > it was fun at first, but now i kinda want to live, an able life and have kids.

its kinda crazy how a freak accident(or near in this sake) can really knock some sense into you. and i will get flamed for this…someone _up_ there was lookin out for u, when its your time to go its yoour time to go, and fortunently it was not time. i still catch my self driving way to fast and then ask my self “what the fuck am i doing, im risking mine and others lives” ---

you have to watch the throttle lift oversteer with that car. that car is not at all forgiving… lifting off, or braking in the middle of a turn will put it backwards quickly. ---

no good, no good at all. its good to know you are ok, and that you learned a lesson. i dont think this is karma or anything else, you just arent experienced enough to know how to avoid this situation, or correct it if possible. i doubt anyone here did when they got their first car…and some people even lost control like you. i know i was not experienced enough to drive the way i did when i first got my car, and luckily nothing like this happened to me. this is why i think EVERYONE should compete in auto-x events, and do so in their own car or something similar. having experience with your car on the edge (or slightly past it) in a controlled environment has incredible value, especially if you are an enthusiast and plan on driving “spirited” in the street. ---

no offense, but this is just a prime example of why you (in the general sense) shouldnt asshat around, especially somewhere like a thruway onramp. others could have been hurt or killed, not only you… very lucky. 1le \> honduh. ---
