One Hell of a Recovery!

Deputy Editor

Some of the members over on StreetFire are calling this a set up, but I don’t think this was planned. Regardless, it’s pretty compelling, and demonstrates just how important it is to keep your cool when things go sideways.

Great car control

He did good, but would have done better if he didn’t lose it in the first place. Those who control when their rear is gonna hang out are the ones with established skills. He could have just been lucky. It is suspicious, but I think it was genuine. He probably just wanted to shoot a video of him cruising past traffic and got a little more than he bargained for. You could sense he was shittin brix.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to get in a wreck and have that forsaken radio playing,and you can’t turn it off.

I did one of those a few weeks ago in my camry. Bald tires in the back cut loose going around a slushy snowy CT road. Went side to side about 4 times before plowing into a snowbank and spinning a good 3 times. No real damage, no cars on the road but damn something like that really gets your heart going.
