Default almost crash my car today!

well around 10 PM at night after coming out from the market i decided to play with my car a little bit, so i launched my car around 5500 and i took off and suddenly my car was out of control. i guess maybe my tires wasn't warm enough .so guys, be careful outhere.

Cold, wet pavement and the LSD will cause the rear to sidestep on an aggressive launch - be careful.

a good, responsible driver will know that late at night when it's fairly cool out is a bad time to do a mid- to high-rpm launch... that being said, i again ask the powers that be to create a 'crash' forum... formerly requested as the 'driver technique' forum... they're taking up too much space on page one, i think. any seconds?
