Wrecked, lucky to be alive

[1985 5.0]

People with driving skills, yeah. Apparently he doesn't know how to handle a car going 90 around a corner.

LOL

Oh, so let me guess, your supposed to be some great driver that has never had a wreck or nothing go wrong. My luck finally ran out, I've been driving this road at this speed for about 3 years now. If you ever drive over 100 and you do it fairly regular, your luck will run out eventually whether it be a driving error, blown tire, or whatever the hell else can happen when you go that fast. I'm not saying I'm a good driver, but considering I lost control at the speed I did and I did not get hurt and the car still runs, I thought I did pretty good with the car after the back end went around. It was just the fact that I went into the curve about 5mph too fast. Hell, if that tire would not have popped then everything would be all good. But the key word is IF. The tire popped and the **** happened. But the lesson was learned.

Nope, never been in an accident that was my fault and yes, I AM a good driver. I can drive the **** out of a car but I know when not to take corners at 90 mph on bald tires. DRIVE SAFE.

I am going home from school on Friday and I will get my sisters camera and take some pics. That is if the car is still sitting outside of the shop.

This was not a corner, it was more of a long curve. Again, it was just one bad tire. The front two and the back left were in good shape. The tires had just been put on there about five months ago when her car was totaled, because of a mail woman running a stop sign sending her car down in the woods. The damage this time cant even compare to that wreck.

Ok, my bad, I meant curve. Carry on, hot shot. LOL

The key words here are when you spend a lot of time driving over 100 mph...

Right then and there you have lost any sympathy from anyone. You want to drive that fast, your going to pay a price.

I think you need to be in a 4cyl car from now on. Tire or not (could have easily not been the tires fault) you still should not be traveling that fast, and especially not as much as you claim. Id say grab a bus pass for a while, and then when you get back on the road, drive slow!

PS, I consider myself a damn good driver, both in everyday situations, or on a track, Im just smart enough to not mix the two together, no matter how good I am!

well as far as you buying my car.. i wouldnt let you! considering 2 weeks after you buy it i'll end up seeing somewhere in the paper about a kid driving his 5.0, lost control,went through a field, then shoot across I-95 and beening a tree.. im doing you and my car a favor.. self control is one thing you dont have.. and common sense

I really dont see myself driving 100 anytime soon, especially in two weeks.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Why were you doing 90mph around a curve?

especially in a V6. Those things handle like a boat compared to a similar year GT, Mach 1 or Cobra

No. I drove a friends 04 GT Coupe down the same road at about the same speed. The GT was not that much different handling wise than moms 99 v6 vert. The GT definitely had more power, but handling was about the same.

And this shows you have no idea how to drive. The two cars are set up so differently that only a person that had no high speed (or even low speed) driving experiance wouldn't notice.

Heres your sign....

thier are drivers and their are people who happen to drive cars, you happen to drive cars, if you can not tell the diff between a those two cars you have no feel no idea what is fast what is slow and where the envelope is, you should slow down before you hurt someone, if you kill yourself that is just your problem don't steal anothers life becuase you want a cheap thrill. Or man up and buy a Motorcycle then you will only be a threat to yourself. When a 4,000 pound car slides sideways there is no helping it, it goes where it wants to, you did nothing to save it, and most likly overcorreted and made it worse, you lived becuase your guardian angel has talent. I say this as a very experianced driver, i have raced since i was 11 and am as good of a driver as anyone here, i know where the line is what the car is telling me, and can drive anything to the limit, but i don't. becuase one day i tried to be a racecar hero on a back road, and was inches from death, my talent and a even more talented gaurdian angel saved me that day, and i have learned my lesson. No matter how good of a driver you are stuff happens when you drive too fast, and when un-talented people drive to fast they die. I still proably shouldnot have lived through that day but i did and am smater for it.



Think of it this way you are 18, so when you go into the corner at 90 you are betting the next 60 years of your life that you can make it at 90, that is putting alot on the table for a bet you can't possibly get anything from, except some false ricer bravado, buy a 5.0 when you grow up!!!

GT stayed on the road....and V6 didn't.


Ever V6 i've ever driven feels mushier in turns than my GT.

I've already got a 5.0 if you have not already noticed by my sig and name.

So you talk about how great of a driver you are and this and that, but I read the part where you done the exact same thing on a back road when you was younger. But your talent and angel saved you. It was just pure luck that I lost control going 90 and dont have a scratch and the car still runs, right? And just like you, I probably shouldn't have lived through that but I did and I learned from it.

the point i was making is i am less likely to wreck at high speed than than the average joe not becuese i am god's gift to the car but i have a ton of a experiance, had a ton before i ever had a license( thats why the rents let me have 5.0), and i was trying to do eighty around a 25mph corner, what i was doing was no smarter, but i knew way before i got to the turn that i f'ed up and that knowldge bought me the time to get the car turned into the trees and not the 700 foot ravine, my many years of racing allowed me to think fast enough to slow the car and get it turned enough not to die in a ball of flames, i was lucky, so were you, but i should have died that day and did'nt now i drive slower, just looking out for ya man, you kinda sounded a little caviler about the whole thing, trust me i am not tryin to e thug you or stroke my ego, sorry if i came across wrong glad you are okay and in the future:Track:

 

[grey5.0beast]

to tell you the truth, I have spun out once, kept it in my lane though, even spinning(I don't know how, luck or just plainquick thinking) I made a thread about it, I was going a aroun a turn, FROM A STOP and don't know how the hell the rear end went out to my right(wasn't wet waan't hotrodding it) it swung but I stayed in my lane spun again and about to go ofrr the rd I downshifted to 2nd and whipped the rear end around and endded up facing the traffic behind me on a two way two lane rd with traffic coming in both directions. but I wasn't going 90, but it was really hot and when my tires get hot, they get mushy and loose add to the fact that my fox vert has a LIGHT ASS rear and it just turned to ****. I really can't say I learned a lesson, b/c I really didn't do anything stupid, just thought I would share my story.

Sorry for being a smart ass but its just that everything is taking its toll on me. Everybody telling me what should have happened and that I'm a jackass and that I'll wreck again in two weeks by flipping my car and running into trees has really got to me. This whole experience has really opened my eyes up, and now I don't take life for granted like I used to.

And just like you, I knew before I got to that curve that I was not going to get slowed down enough for it. I just had to try to hang on for dear life and try to keep the car on the road, which there is about 250 feet of skidmarks from where I was sideways. And when I have my Mustang back on the road next week, you will not be seeing me going any faster than 70. Again, sorry for the smart remarks.

all is good in the hood, keep her on the black part and life will be good, i bet mom is still pissed though.
