Coming home from school tonight, stopped at the gas station to get my nicotine fix. Ran into an Old HS friend of mine, and we were shooting the **** about my truck. Finally, I got ready to leave and he gave me the little universal sign that says," Light'em up!". I obliged. Only bad thing at this point was it had been raining all day and my AT tires are fairly easy to break loose. Thankfully this was dead of the night and no one was around to get in the way.

I got to the road, and as I got about 1/2 the way turned, I gagged it to fish tail a little bit. What I DIDN'T know was that the city had been out a few weeks back and laid some oil on down on the road after patching it.

I ended up getting the truck sideways 3 times and went yard cruising once. This was all done at 40-45 MPH as I already built up speed to tail it a little bit.

This was a left hand turn through the parking lot.

Here's some pics. Did NO damage to the truck, but I damn well could have.

Street view:

Red shows where I was going, and the blue circle shows where I landed in the ditch- Look at those trees by the circle. Also, I pretty well zigzagged 4 times before I landed in the ditch. The funny thing was how I nonchalantly drove off. Never stopped, got her in the ditch, out and then about a mile down the road so I could pull over and check for damage. I've never shook so bad in my entire life. (Got told by my HS friend that I was a Crazy sumbitch. )






I'm going back in the morning to get more pics, but I thought I would share with my fellow 2nd genners what luck looks like when you are in a large hunk of metal sliding sideways around 45 MPH.

 

Nice! I've had a similar experience. Good to hear that your trick is undamaged!

 

That would'ove been cool to see on video!

 

 

Thats why I stick to felids. Good thing you saved it no charger yet.

 

I would have been all "LETS DO THAT AGAIN!!"... but then again this is the girl that stood on the tail gate of a jeep ripping through the field and the driveway, fell off at 50MPH on the concrete, with ripped up jeans and several scrapes ran to jump right back on... I LOVE Adrenaline!!

Feel special Laramie - I just broke 900 too just for you!!

yeah laramie i know what you mean , i tried showing off downtown infront of my school that i was going to and my rear tires were spinning so fast when i left of the brake other foot still smashed & it and did tail whips like 5 times with no control and almost hit the parelle parked cars on the strreet, i said too m,yself i would never do it agian...

funny part was i was doing it at a stop sign and the lady was stuck next too me parked and all my smoke went into her window ...

trucks are hard to control being soo light

 

LOL @ Yard drifting. At least your truck didn't get torn up.

 

Amen to that.

 

i have to disagree with this staitment. i think it has more to do with the driver.
