![]() I had a little rice-box on my tail. i was driving the 'GOROBGO' LX, which has skinnies and no swaybar...i decided to shake them with my HP going into some tight turns! 3.5" tires were not made for turning. i wound her up to the top of second and prepared for the turn coming up, a hard left followed by a similarly radiussed right. there is a steep embankment on the right side of the road.as I aimed the nose of the car toward the apex of the turn, it didn't budge, just pushed...frantic, i stabbed the brakes, but the little pizza-cutters simply locked up, leaving two inch-wide black stripes going straight across the yellow stripes toward the embankmant...I pumped at the brakes and burned off a bit of speed, but hit the embankment hard with the right side of the nose of the old 'stang! Dirt flew through the air, the 'stang was launched into the air at a 45* angle, and i thought it might roll if not landed properly (thanks to Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now! i am experienced). i angled the steering wheel toward the left until just after the front touched down, that brought the rear of the vehicle down hard, then a hard right to stay out of opposing traffic's lane...at this point, the riceboys pulled alongside, prolly laughed pretty good, and drove off. I was fine, the car was pretty beaten up with a crunched fender, flat tire on a crushed front rim...I gave it some gas and limped home on the damaged wheel...
