Almost ate it

so tonight I\'m out drivin, I was behind my buddy in his BMW Z3 coupe, I took a corner a little to fast and almost lost control, I had a little too much confidence in the Town Car front bar and Addco rear, it fishtailed to the left, then to the right, then to the left again, and into a parking lot approximately 60 feet from the corner, I hit a curb pretty good with my front left tire, the steering felt funny a little bit for a second but then felt fine, I pulled over and checked it out there was no damage, just some white scuff on the tire from the curb. Over all the handling was pretty good considering how fast I took the corner. I\'ll just have to be more careful, scared the crap oujt of me. Just a little something to remind you all to be careful. I could have lost my pride and joy tonight, now I know the limits of the suspension. :chin:

PS, ok, stupid me put this in the wrong place and I cant figure out how to move it if a moderator could be so kind in moving it for me. :D

I just saw a stang lose control in a parking lot and just popped the tire. He hit it just right with just enought speed. Atleast you didn\'t embarrass yourself.

Good thing you didnt do any bad damage.

Town Car + Addco Bar = FUN.

Gotta be careful though.

Don\'t feel bad- I did the same thing in the VIII. I had bald ass tires (for some strange reason, the tires were balder in the rear than the front??? :confused: ;) ) and I hit the turn too fast and they didn\'t hold it. Spun the car around about 90*, but I was able to countersteer and save it. I was racing a 80\'s model Camaro at the time- luckily I was far enough ahead he didnt hit me.
