Be safe out there people. Temps are not quite up to seasonal level and you never know what surprises the road will hold.

Fellow MoHud member had his Miata rollover after experiencing snap oversteer that pushed him off the road. He is an older gentleman and in his own words
"I was turning into a corner that I have driven through 100 times, but at a lower speed than usual and the car went snap oversteer. Left the road sideways and right side tires dug in and it rolled. It's the kind of corner that you can't tell you can use the left lane until you're into it a ways. So, I always turn in a little tighter if no one's coming. I do that all the time. I didn't brake or let off the gas, just turned in a little tighter. The road surface was perfect, no stones or anything. So, it's a mystery to me."

Hahaha the two-tone twins! I'll be in your neck of the woods for work today actually. Too bad the S won't be with me. I work in a dirty job so I never take her to to the job site

Actually working at the new middle school that they just put up.
Where abouts? Ill be at my place tomorrow helping out another s2000 owner with her fluid changes.

I'm not too familiar with the area but it's right off 17 near a baseball field. It's a large middle school that is probably four times the size of my HIGHSCHOOL that I went too haha.

Fun Fact: those used to be my wheels. I sold them years ago when I lived in CA and Mike picked them up from the guy I sold them to and now we both live in the NE.

"It's the kind of corner that you can't tell you can use the left lane until you're into it a ways. So, I always turn in a little tighter if no one's coming."
Sad indeed, and your warning is spot on with these clear and downright cold mornings

I for one have never been a fan of using the left lane, ever
I'll admit I will straighten out a corner by using the right shoulder, but the left lane for me is strictly off limits

On the road the left lane for me is "out of bounds" as well. I am even less likely to use it to pass these days unless it is a long straight with decent sight lines. I do use all of my lane trying to carve good turn in/apex/track out points within my lane. Surely this leaves some I am following/following me to wonder "is that guy drunk!".
