CRed05 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Saturday night i went around a turn and couldnt turn or stop, went on the curb and took out a sign. Some of the paint was damaged. Then this morning i was turning onto 270 east from sawmill, i must have hit a patch of ice, when the car spun to the left and then i almost got it under control when it spun to the right. I skid across the other lane, and went into the grass/snow with my nose pointed to the road. a little bit ahead of me there was a porsche boxter off the road too, but he couldnt get out. Good old AWD got me right out. Another cop came, stopped and saw that i could get out, then went to look at the spot where i slipped. If anyone is going past there this morning be careful, and be sure to look for my skidmarks smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 The 270/Sawmill entrance sucks when it's dry. No surprise it is taking people out in this weather. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrousbird Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I drive an very heavy E250 van ever day, that is a total sled when there is snow/ice on the ground. I haven't even come close to going off the road. Two times in a couple of days....I have a feeling you are driving a little too confident w/ the AWD. I also daily drive a 94 Mustang GT w/ Z rated tires without any incidents either. What I'm trying to say here is DRIVE MORE CAREFULLY!

CRed05 Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 yea, i usually take that onramp with no problem at all. i was going like 40-50mph around it, which is nothing usually. I didnt expect it at all, looked dry as bone. And its just a boxter...the poor mans porsche, which is more than alot can afford, but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
