It's a lot like a race car

On the way home from school, you top a hill and there is a set of sweepers. From the top of the hill you can see if there are any cars coming. ANYWAY...one of my best friends had just passed me in his sister Maxima...so I thought I'd blow by him in the corners. Well backed off and got a running start. I came around him(on the outside of the corner, REAL smart ). I looked over mid corner to see if I could get back over. Well I didn't take into account that the corner got sharper, I looked back over to see the side of the road coming at me at 85mph. So it stabed the brakes for a second. This threw all the weight to the front of the car and brought the rear-end around. I was at about a 45 degree angle in the road doing 75mph. NOT fun. I belive that if I wouldn't have kept my foot on the gas, that it would have come all the way around...or a least to the point where I couldn't correct it.

That is my scariest car related thing to date. On July 27th it will be surpasted by the ride that I'm gonna take in RadicaGT's low 7 second car
