Today I was going to work (taking my usual rout to this site) and it was pirtty slick but not really bad, anyway I was going like 35 around a wide 90 degree corner and the back end started sliding out, it was not a big deal but all the sudded the back end just went, It slid into the dirt an stayed sideways half in the dirt/rocks and half on the road, i slide sidways for a bit then the back end went ever farther around. the back wheels just maid it back onto the road before the berriour, where i slid accross and stoped about a foot from the berriour on the other side (one lane road) i found myself speachless facing the stoped oncuming traffic, I slowly backed up, turned around and went on my way. when i got to work i did not see any damage to the car, but i was shaking like crazy. from now on i'm gana be taking that ramp VERY SLOWLY

for those of you who live near me its the onramp to I-5 right in frunt of montlake theatre. its an S shape (I slid at the first curve)

I just felt like telling the story to someone, anyone else had a close call like that, where it just kinda happend out of the blue?

yeh man close to the same thing happened to be before I got my new tires I was driving and saw a red light so I slowed down a little to hard and spun my car sideways in the a 2 lane road and straightened it out in the middle of the intersection. That feeling is weird though... good luck sleeping with all that adrenalin pumping through your blood.
