hopefully he learned and got a lil more experience and this misfortune doesn't happen to him again but thats the price you pay for driving a vehicle shit happens and theres not a damn thing you can do about. just take precautions to lower your risk

Brakes would not have helped him..actually feathering the throttle better and counter steering and no brakes..a number of things could have gone wrong on that run

I'd ask if that was an invite, but then I'd have to hop in 296 and drive me and Mrs. Number 3 to GA.

true but he didn't counter thats why i said brake

but absolutely i always throttle it, it works for me depending on how fast im going its either ride it and straighten it out or yank it around in a 360, i can usually do a 360 on a 2 lane road without ever hitting the sides


back roads out in the country where the only thing that goes down them is a couple tractors and the 10 people that live out there are fun lol

Also it looks like he had all systems off..he should have just turned traction control off and left the other on..it would have kept him from getting all sideways

Ooops, spelling error, my bad.

Fbodfather is there with Thor and a bevy of Chevys.

He posted something earlier today, with a pic with Thor, who has stripes since we took him to Florida for Spring Break.
