Despite my nice Bridgestone Potenza Pole-Positions on the rear, I got a little excited and broke the rear end loose coming off the Interstate. I just steered into the direction I wanted to go and all was well, but for a few seconds it felt like I was in slow motion, kind-of surreal as if time itself slowed down.

After I recovered well, I was pretty pleased with my driving skills - until I saw an 8(!) car train of rear-enders on the other side of the road and no fewer than 5 cops trying to make sense of the mess.

Be careful out there, not only does this weather make us Floridians all depressed, but it could kill you, too.

 

glad you are ok!!

 

Good driving. I know that exact slow motion feeling. Glad you made it out ok. If you can anticipate the kick out its fairly easy to control but if it hits you unexpectedly it's a bitch.

 

my car likes to slide all over the place in the rain. i know what u went thru, trust me glad u didnt crash

 

I had that happen when I hit VTEC on and was running at about 70MPH. I was on a straigh line road though, the car still went about 30 degrees out on me. Not a comfy feeling at that speed but I countered and did not freak, kept my foot on the gas and steer through

 

Extra slick out there. My rears aren't shot but going slower in corners is still a must. Vtec sparingly. Not as fun as driving in the dry but still a challenge.

 

high gear low revs. When it rains hard core in the S, I just basically stop....LOL my car does not want to go slower than 90 ever so i just park her and find something to do until it stops raining

 

How well I know this feeling. I'll tell you about it when we meet in person. But lets just say that my '06 was bought from the proceeds of the '03.

 

Next time you see 8 cars rear-ended, hand out my business cards!!!!!

 

Ambulance chaser?
