One cruise night a few months ago, me and my friends were going to Texas Road House to eat. I spotted a 5.0 (I'm usually the Leed Man), and thought I'd get a race going early on. The road is a twisty one, I was still learning my car. I took off after the 5.0, doing 70 around a few curves.

Then with no warning or sign, the rear end just jumps, not slides, or spins, just Jumps. If I didnt have a firm grasp on the wheel or any sense, I would of probably flew into the curb . Tim C was behind me, and he commented during dinner how my cars rear just kinda jumped to the left while taking the curves.

That hasnt happened since, we still dont know why that happened, maybe I touched the brake without realizing it, but I dont think I did. Oh well. All I have to say is my car Handles a thousand times better than my old 64 1/2's.
