Have you ever lost control of your FOX?
Last night I was going about 55mph in 5th gear on a wet straight road. I downshifted to 4th in order to get ahead of another car and thats when all hell broke loose. I totally spinned out of control like 7-9 times.
Fortunately i didnt hit anyone or anything. i have no idea how but the only thing that got hurt on the fox was a rear tire.
damn if could have been alot worst....
Has anyone ever lost control too??

ive lost control in a buddys stang with 6 inches of snow on the ground in a parking lot 
as safe as i could be. mostly i was preparing for what i was going to encounter when i get my stang here in a few days, cuz im sure there will be snow on the ground here..

yeah i have done it a couple times but nothing compared to what you did i pulled a 360 on a two lane road when there was no one coming so nothing happened there and another time coming off a jug handle one day after it snowed i stopped on a pile of like slush and snow so when i started to go it stuck to my tires and i almost went straight into the median trying to do a u turn

did something similar to hack.. except there were cars coming and i was u-turning so i gave it some throttle, spun around pretty fast.. tried to counter it and failed.. bit the curb pretty bad but the rim is fine
there have been some other times just fooling around on straight aways and the car starts fishtailing both ways. best way to manuever out of those is to just let the car go where it wants but keeping it steady

RE: Have you ever lost control of your FOX?
about 2 weeks ago my friend was on a curvy hilly road going down while it was wet. Ended up hitting a bump while brakeing which i guess locked the brakes and sent his car sliding, ended up spining a few times, hit a mound of dirt on the side, set his car upright and over a 14 foot cliff and landed on the roof. It also landed partially in a small creek. There was a passanger in teh car that I guess reclined the seat before the roof collapsed which saved his life. They were knocked out for about 5-6 minutes and then were able to barely squeeze through the window. Luckily they left with only a few stitches. Ill try to get some pics.
