I was aware this truck did this multiple times before, my coworker used to drive it and he said it did it to him 3 times and all 3 times the ball joint were fucked and Chrysler even recalled the truck to "fix" the death wobble issue
And the truck barely has 100,000 miles
Thanks Chrysler

You fucking did what? How? Do Californians drive on the left side of the road because of all the asians or something? What the fuck am I not getting here?

Sorry it's late. I turned right at a red light without looking and cars were coming full speed at my left. I turned right and floored it just in time to get out of the way. I probably would have survived but the car would have been totaled and I'd be fucked up.

2/3

Last winter Im driving down Chena Hot Springs rd in a rustbucket 79 hilux at 50-60 mph. Solid ice because lolalaska. A wild moose appears out of the treeline. I lock up slide a bit, left front tire finds some pavement and I go almost 90* sideways. Old toyota heater barely defrosts the windows so I can't see anything out of the passenger side. I over correct and do a 540 in the middle of the road (poo is coming out at this point) slide to a stop past the moose whew. I spooked the dumb fucker so bad it fell trying to run and is skittering about trying to get up looking like a real life bullwinkle. My sides erupt. Continue home at 40 mph.

I've got close calls with other drivers, but nothing like those 3. All of them were inches away scenarios, looking back I feel pretty lucky

This was a product of my own stupidity, but holy shit I could've died so easily.

Managed to not roll, and I had luckily put on some new Dynapro AT/Ms, so I climbed out of the ditch without issue. Pulled to the side of the road and sat there for a moment loosening my sphincter to normal tightness.

Only time I've ever been in an accident and I'm 26. Though I did once have a cyclist pelt the front passenger fender of my Jeep because he tried to cut in front of me at a stoplight and missed the mark, lol.

Fuck man rumble strips save lives.

Haven't even had my bike that long and I've already had more people than in care to count trying to kill me on the highway.

The must butthole clenching one was a semi merged into me in the highway at night just kicked dipped and twisted hoping to get wide and fast enough to clear him. Not dead so it worked out ok.

Haven't gone ham in the car since I bought the bike doesn't do it for me anymore.

It sucks, and I'm trying to find a new bumper for cheap. The light and hood can be bent back into shape. But it really taught me to not be a fucking idiot and go too far beyond my and my cars limits. Or rather, to not assume that the car is some magic box that will do exactly what I want it to.

Ever since that I've learned to turn understeer into oversteer and not look at the danger.

Do you hear that neo? It's the sound of inevitability

Ya, I know. It was a pretty stupid and avoidable mistake. I've learned my lesson, and thankfully it wasn't worse. $60 for a new light, a bit of bending, and waiting to find a new bumper. Compared to my brother, who coincidentally, got in accident a week later. Had a rental car for some reason, and it got fucking totaled. Don't know the details behind his crash, but it required him to get surgery on his legs. So ya, I got off easy.

I like to imagine the oncoming driver was pretty shocked meeting some old pickup going sideways in the middle of nowhere.

Did the same thing on a road with lower speed limit, but this time I was "twin drifting" in a suburban while he had a early 80's datsun kingcab.
Would imagine that'd be quite the look.

That's a bad way to learn about understeer

Jesus christ what kind of gook are you and your friends to drive so badly?

I took my car on an off road excursion at 50-60 MPH so that was fun.

My classmate died going 80 into a tree. No seat belt no airbags.

Sounds like he was a moron

my strat: start out going 80, wait for someone to pass me, and use them as a pace car. so now going 85-90, eventually someone will pass us, and I lock onto them. Now going 95+ and the idea is theyre in front so if a cop radars us, the pace car in front gets targeted and I have a chance to slow down

>be driving a sunfire
I drove the cavalier (equivalent to sunfire) and it needed weight in the back or it would do the same as your car in the rain. Those cars like to wag their rear ends if the road gets slippery or if hydroplaning. I put two 25 pound bags of rice in the trunk. One on each side of the trunk located approx next to the wheels. The weight plus the AA traction tires helped a lot in stopping the fishtailing.

Not driving a car that can pass anyone you want unless they have done some work to their shit.

Some cunt tried that to me in my wrx and I just laughed dropped to 3rd and took off. Im.pretty sure she was WOT and still couldnt keep up.

if you pass anyone in those situations, you need to ALWAYS assume they will pull that shit. If you drive an automatic and you have a shit engine, you gotta ramp up... like, slow down, back off, then floor it as you pass. or if you drive a real car, drop 2 gears and floor it.

yeah you might seem like an angry dick, but thats probably warranted anyway

Why the fuck don't you slow down more if you know your truck is a pile of shit?

I'm 19 and in college. I'm drive a 2003 Chrysler Sebring I bought for $600. Believe me when I say that the second I can afford a decent car, I'll sell mine. Until then, I'm stuck with it.
