Be careful in the rain...had the **** scared out of me tonight
I was making a left at a stop light, hit the gas too hard going around (and I really didn't hit it that hard), did a 180* spin, hit the curb seperating the lanes with my front right wheel and wound up facing oncoming traffic. They all stopped to let me turn around. I'm okay and pretty sure my car is...my front right wheel doesn't look much out of alignment...maybe just a few MM. What should I check to make sure the suspension assembly there is okay?
Lesson: be careful in the rain...LOL
THANKS ERNESTO!

yea man, i did that the other night too, but it was dry and i was tryin to get a lil sideways just over did it. o and btw this was at 1 in the mornin in the middle of nowhere, only other car around was my friend in his 02 gt who was drivin in front of me.
and as far as the rain, yea ur right... if i hit it even goin 40 she gets sideways.. kinda scary, deff gotta be careful.

idk man, i guess just look for anything visually wrong/differant. i rmember a while back i put my car(not stang, thank god) face first into a ditch, and i didnt see any damage, but it needed front end work. so idhave some one check the alignment n everything just to be safe

pisses me off cause I had begun to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The point at which I would be able to stop fixing things and start modding. *sigh*
