Yeah lets think about this for a moment...oh yeah It would have probably killed me. Either that or I would have been as busted up as you. By the way folks it was him driving, I was in the passenger seat and another friend was in the back.

240 + wet road = spinning out/sliding, sometimes more or less depending on the tire, but its just something you learn to deal with when you drive the car. Had my first lesson with that 17 hours after I bought the car, to make a long story short my ars end met a guard rail...

anyway I learned really quick what she could/couldn’t do in the rain... and for a while I also would get antsy in curves when it rained, but you get used to how the car feels and are able to generally tell when you start to push it too much.

I had some potenza 950's and they were great in the rain, esp. w/ hydroplaning... but now I have some yo-mammas and don’t like them as much at all, they suck in the rain, I can barely get above 55 then I start to hydroplane. The 950's had decent dry and wet handling... overall a nice tire, I ended up doing the 5-lug swap and got rid of the 950's, as soon as these tires are gone I am going back to some form of the 950's.

I learned my lesson though, jackass tried to drift and hit a fence post with two other people in his car a few months back...

both. i speak cantonese better of course, everyone speaks cantonese in Hong Kong.

but my mom speaks mandarin, so she has taught me ever since i was little, though i consider myself a bad mandarin speaker, but way better than a lot of HKnese

its not always a bad driver , my crash wasnt driver error , more ice that couldnt be seen or forcasted , only blame i can see on her is the tyres .....

reading stuff like this makes me glad i have a car i dont care about ...A.K.A the caddy , i think ill hold off plans for a replacment G20 till i have room for a second "weekend only" car

and HKC , your right , good judgment on not driving that car in its condition , im not familair with the rear suspsnsion on it , but if its like a vette a broke/bent/wekend upper controll arm and ball joint could spell disater , once you have fund take care of the suspension first so its drivable again , have it towed to a reputable shop , dont risk driving it , a sudden collapse of the rear suspension could finsish you and the car off , and that would be a waste of a beatiful girl from hong kong

Post by **Silvia_Lova** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 3:43 pm

i only speak cantonese

again, really sorry about your car. the damage doesn't look too serious though.

um..that's what i am hoping to do. dont plan on driving it till i know for sure it's drivable.... i dont wanna DIE yet!!

i would always have fund to take care of the car coz my parents will help me (since i dont have job), but i dont wanna tell them coz they will worry, so i am gonna just keep saving up on my other expenses till i do have some funds..... it's hard to not have a job and depend on urself..but oh well....

Post by **HongKongChick** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 3:43 pm

oh i see..how do u know cantonese then??

yea, don't go to the dealer or big name shops ot fix them... you can try to get those parts yourself, which will be ALOT cheaper, and ask a mechanic to do the repairs for you, but sometimes that is hard, because most mechanics make $$ by marking up the parts prices... but it shouldn't be too hard to find some1 to do it, anyways good luck

Post by **Mr1der** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 3:43 pm

hey HKC, in one of those "weird" moments, I was just thinking it'd be kinda funny to see you trade in the 240 on a big jacked up 4x4 1947 Dodge Power Wagon...

please don't throw rocks at me!

Post by **Silvia_Lova** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 3:43 pm

no...that's not true...technically, ABC is just ABC, but banana on the other hand is more like an offensive word to call an ABC or anyone in that matter..

i was called a banana all the time now..and i hate it
