Default Almost got into a dirty accident

i was crossing an intersection and i got to the middle of the road waiting for trafic to clear up so i can get on my way. i see an opening coming up anit was tight so i decide to gun it. but instead of my car going forward as i expected, i kinda just sat there with my tires spinning and my car moving sideways a little. my tires spun through all of first and then when i put it in second i thought i was all good to recover, and seeing as i was in the middle of the street, i really coulndt just cruise into traffic, so i applied some more as and had my tires spin through most of second as well. luckily my car straightned out and as it did i looking itot he side mirror and saw 3 pairs ofheadlight all coming very fas, one of which was really really close. the guy ad to slam on his brakes and honked, and we didnt hit each other, thank god. now this experience couldve been due to several contributing factors:
1. the road was slightly wet (sprinklers)
2. my tires=bald (shopping for my rims/tires now)
3. my 05 has no tcs bc no pony packae in 05 (wtf?)

i must say tho my car did some beast going thru 1st and 2nd burning up the tires, lol

I loved not having TCS in my 2000. You just need to drive a little better..
But if your tires are below the legal limits, getting in an accident they can ticket you and then you would be at fault for sure
