Lost control of car on onramp, Scary...... Options

[creis]

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?

I should mention that my rear tires, (were my frunt but had them rotated) are legaly bald due to my burn out habbits.

I think i'll fall asleep pritty quick, I want this day to be over. But yeah i felt really weird right after it happen looking at 2 old people in a minivan obviousely in shock, pribibly did not help our image and added to the steriotype that kids with fixed up cars are bad drivers.

You've got bald tyres on the back end, and you were suprised at lift off oversteer in the wet?

I give up.

Countersteer and nail the throttle to haul the car out of the slide.

And buy some new rubber.
