Default Thanks Carlos and Gray

Just wanted to say thank you to Carlos, Carlos Jr. Gray, and your friend for stopping on 271 when I my life flashed in front of me.

Going 271 N , the back end got a little twitchy in the snow. I tried to correct it, and then the back end snapped loose. I corrected it, turned with the slide, but spun the first time to avoid the guard rail to my right. When we came around the second turn, a Dodge Durango went flying by as I was facing the opposite direction. I finally stopped after spinning twice.

That's the best description I can give.

Also, thanks to LilJapnBoy for being calm when we nearly bit it.


Memo to self: RE050's are not good in the snow

We are just glad you did not wreck and hurt yourself. I bet Eric gave you sheot did'nt he?

" My Evo would not have had problems in this weather"

Glad you're okay. I left this morning at 4:30am and had a few "30mph with flashers on" moments. It snowed like crazy in a few spots.

yes..i did make a reference to how we should have taken the evo

the car has a tick over 1700 miles and is a week old. totalling it probably would not have made me a happy camper

i'm still shaken up a bit... but i'll be ok... civic will be taking me to work tomorrow. fortunately i still have my snow tires on


thanks again everyone...wtf is wrong with this weather..
