Woops, Misread that one.

 

no problem...i know what u mean..

.....

 

I was very upset when I saw the pics of your S. You guys really stuck it out with that car and its a shame to see it totaled. I'm sure you will get another one when the time is right.

 

Thanks.... I'm parting it out unless someone offers to buy it outright. If we had the cash we'd keep her and make her a track car.

We'll see what time will bring me....

Debbie,

I'm sending you a PM. I may need some parts unfortunately

 

David-
Replied to your PM.... Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
I hope you had insurance unlike me!!!

I should be able to help you. I should know by this weekend for sure if not sooner.

Debbie

 

what happened

 

Let's just say I've learned never to use the cruise control in the rain again.

The car began to spin itself out on the highway (around a small bend, but basically just going straight, and a little uphill). I was able to get back in control and correct it, but was too close to the guardrail and when then rear end snapped back it hit. Put a big rail height crease down the rear quarter panel and smashed the side of the taillight housing. Broke the rim of one of my wheels too, so took some work to get back home.

I'll never trust electronic driving aids again, that's for sure

 

That sucks Dave... the tires must have broke loose obviously... so either the tires didn't too well in the wet and/or the Cruise Control apply a crap load of throttle... but the turn sound more tight than you described it.

Ouch! I know it sux but glad it's not more serious - only the car (& your pride?) that's a bit dented.

Both can be fixed: one w/ a few spares, & a little time; the other w/ a few beers, & a little time...

I don't like Cruise Control on fwd automatics, let alone on rwd manual shift.
