S2000 Does NOT = Snow2000
Just got home....
Going 50 (Speedlimit 65) doing great for a while, next thing I know the rearend is passing me, I compensate, carry the car at a 45* angle for a good 200-300ft, front tires catch a slight ammount of traction and send me spining, 540* spen off into the ditch, Bottomed out pretty good on the way down.
Symptoms after getting it pulled out
1 Horribly wobble around 25-35mph, Might just be the mud stuck in the wheels, camber looks fine on all 4 corners.
2 The Maint Light came on right after but i figure its coincidence.
3 When Backing out of the gas station I stopped out the car resisted then "Popped" lose, Sounded like the diff?
4 Burning smell, but I think its just the Mud stock all over the exhaust.
Anyone care to add there Whoops pics?

Damn bro... sorry to see this happen to a fellow s2k. I hope you're okay and the car is too. We have crazy snow/ice over here at SAFB too!
Managed to spin mine the other night and came to rest up on the edge of a curb. No damage, but I think I'll be taking it to an alignment place to get everything double checked.
I was being dumb, so I deserved this one.
However, I was just out driving tonight with the new snow and it really isn't too bad as long as you are gentle on the gas and give yourself a good 10-20seconds lead time on making turns etc.
pretty much sucks. Sorry that happened hopefully you didnt break anything and good thing you are ok.
