We did a little racing on 95 north and drove into major downpour of rain. doing the smart thing we both slowed right down to about 40-50 MPH. It was night so I could see his headlights in my rearview which quickly became his tailights. He went into a spin after hitting a large puddle on the highway. I wached in horror as the 03' Turbo spun into the concrete divider, and was now facing the oncoming traffic. He was able to pull off the highway and get it to a gas station.

Major Damage to the rear of the car, and a broken axel and shredded rear wheel.

He was not a great driver to begin with, and of course won't admit to jacking the brakes or cutting the wheel. Bit of a bruised ego.

Sucks though.

 

Just curious (not a diss) --- was PSM turned off?

 

That does suck. of course he was lucky not to get injured or worse.

WHen it rains it really pours down there...

scary...

 

Any Pic's Shawn?

you know the saying, **** happens. ALl that matters is he's safe.


Crashes are part of getting smarter.

 

With the 4wd and psm in that car and a straight run in wet conditions he must of done something to really unsettle that car to get it to do a 180 spin, anyway OUCH!

 

glad he didn't go any faster cuz u mention ''racing''

 

so much for AWD and PSM making the Turbo foolproof.

 

PSM was on. He is honestly one of the worst drivers I have ever been in a car with. ALWAYS on the cell phone and one hand on the wheel. Cars a Tip, with an ECU and Exhaust upgrade.
I'll try and get pic's for you guys. Like I told him, Who gives a crap about the car, you are lucky a Semi wasn't behind you.

 

PSM aside, if your really hyrdoplaning, not even PSM will save your ***. No wheel contact with road means PSM rendered useless...

 

Isn't that what the almighty All Wheel Drive is for?

 

I'm not going to

 

 

 

Man I wish I could have that as an avitar!
