Happened last week, travelling downhill where has a 90 degree turn with speed around 120 km in 4th gear, when it started go down I heel/toe to 3th, released the clutch around the first 1/3 of the corner, all the sudden the car oversteered, then i tried to re-gain the control by steering the other way, but overcorrected the car, so i steered back the other way, then did a 180, hit the light-pole, 2000 CAD damage, but i walked out ok.

This was totally my fault, and what a lesson to me!

too sad to see my car now, the front bumper has to be replaced.

 

ouch...sorry to hear that man. At least you're OK.

If money's not a problem, then don't try to worry too much about it.

There are others to share your pain.

 

oops! My personal mantra: shift/brake, gas, turn.

 

sorry to hear that bro

 

2000 Cad damage.... what did you do scratch a lugnut, thats like what 25.00 usd??

haha

j/k trying to take your mind off it.

 

AP1 sorry to hear about your mishap. I too have to replace my front bumper, spun her out and hit the curve (cold tires, turning while shifting 1st to 2nd. Totally my fault, could have used trac control tho).

Hope you fix her soon, I'm kind tight right now and the damage is not that bad.

 

glad to hear that you aren't hurt

 

I feel your pain brother. Mine's got a bruise right now too.

 

mine goes in for a new bumper on monday. I hit a deer last week , and put a small crack in mine.

sucks, but i hate having that eye sore (albeit a small one) in my baby.

i also feel your pain.

 

Remember downhill turns must be taken much more gingerly than uphill or level turns because going downhill transfers much of the weight to the front of the car. Hitting the brakes makes this situation worse.
