I am a little disappointed with myself. I have been driving in this stuff for at least 15 years, and I finally lost it good.
Going around this bend at 70, the rear end slid out on me, and I hit the ditch sideways. It then shot me back onto the road and I hit the other ditch at about 55. I went off on an approach, which dropped off rather steeply into a 5 foot ditch. If I had hit the ditch 25 feet earlier, I would have totally Dukes of Hazzarded it off the approach, and exploded in a giant fireball and died.
I thought I had to have broken something, but everything is fine, I was able to finish the 250 mile trip with no problems, still drives straight. I am thinking about putting the front sway bar back on after this... I took it off since one of my end links was broken, and then I gave the other one away to a friend that had a broken one. Does anybody have a spare set laying around?
