Well I was driving down the road today in this beautiful weather we are having in LA. And I saw this great spot to take some pics, so I had to pull over and snap a few. :) *

I was driving down the road going about 65 and I could see there was rain up ahead, so once I started getting a drizzle on me I took my foot off the gas to slow down, cause it was getting bad fast. Well I was probably going about 55-60 when I felt my rear end slide to the left. I turn the wheel to correct it but it happened so fast it was already too late. I went backwards and was going towards the right side of the road, which had a steep ditch and would have probably made me flip. But I was actually able to do a half assed reverse 180 and go sideways into the median. You should have heard what I was screaming. :fuss: I saw there were no cars coming behind me so I trued to back out, because it wasnt that steep on that side, but up front it was steep as hell. I backed up and it started spinning after a foot or two, so I went forward and started rocking it, but I eventually just got stuck. :(

Well I didnt want to get out because it was literally POURING down outside. So I called my mom and told them to talk to their buddy who has a wrecker because I didnt have any cash on me. Then I called 911 and they said someone had already called and a cop was on the way.

Well, not one, but TWO cops passed right by me. And I was very visible. lol I went in the median at 5:10. Cops didnt get there till about 5:45 and the wrecker didnt get there till about 6:30. I was checking out my car the whole time looking for any thing messed up but luckily I got away with out a scratch. just a dirty car and some grass around the axle. And there were tadpoles swimming around my front tire. lol.

Im glad I didnt mess up my car or me though.

Oh and to add insult to injury, the cop made me test my OWN windows and wrote me a ticket for tint.

But Ive been meaning to get 5% professionally installed all the way around with 20% on the front. :D
 
At least you and the stang are ok, could have been worse. Sucks that you got bagged for your tint though. :notnice: Would have figured that the cop would have been like...well since you have had a bad enough day already...
 
Aww that son of a bitch. I just looked at the ticket and saw there were two citations on it. He DID give me a careless operation. I wich he would have atleast told me something.

Well looks like I have to go to the DA's office tomorrow.
 
that sucks man, atleast you were okay and the car had minimal damage....i'm actually driving out to LA next week, is there much to do out that way? I'd like to head to the track while i'm out that way as well. :nice: I'll be up near shreveport (sp?) BAFB area.

Dude you better fight that how did he give you a careless operation citation if they didnt even see you for all they know you served to miss a dog or something and got in the ditch.That cop was a dick

Down here, getting stuck in a ditch = careless operation. You can be swerving to miss a group of nuns giving CPR to a minority baby orphan and you will still get one.

Ive been to Shreveport but never really checked out the car scene. Im sure there is a drag strip there though.

Check out www.getitonracing.net. Its a local board that has a lot of dudes from there.
