How'd you manage that? I've spun out twice in the past two weeks.

One thinking I could handle a little fishtailing.. oversteered and made the mistake of turning the oposite direction in mid-spin.. whipped back around the other way and backed right toward a curb. Stopped about 4 inches shy.. knocked alignment off a little bit. And I accidentally got the back end squirrely just gunning it out of a left turn, that woke me up

But yeah, be safe, drive safe

Sounds like you need an 06 with VSA.




I just got a set of rear tires. No more hydroplaning or fishtailing in the rain. w00t.
