The Suspension on this car saved my life..

Yesterday I went up to Wyoming from Utah to get some high point beer, well on the way up there I was going along on the freeway, there was still snow from the previous night but that that bad.

I ended up taking a curve (not very sharp) and hit some ice at 65MPH...I lost traction, the car spinned and did a 720..I avoided 3 side markers on SHEER luck (in and out inbetween them)..the car rested on the side of the road.

My buddy goes "That was the COOLEST THING EVER! I f'n LOVE THIS CAR!"

I am convinced if it wasn't for the bad ass suspension on these I would have easily tipped over.

Just figure I'd share my story,

(P.S.: HOW THE HELL do you operate the back wiper?)

DAMN DUDE! I have a feeling that had more to do w/ luck than the suspension, but yes, this car is awesome :D. Some one was lookin out for you today man. Anyway, to operate the back wiper, you use the right hand stalk (the one you move up and down to use the front wipers). On the end of that stalk, there is a section that you can twist forward and backward, that's the rear wiper control.
 
i did something VERY similar in my mp3 once. it was one of the funnest moments in either car. wish i had a rear wiper.

And paranoidxe, glad to see you didn't end up with a problem!

what a reaction...i think i would've passed out or something. talk about luck!
 
Glad to see it ended on a comical note. I did something similar to that going 50 over an overpass. WOW, did video games help me out on that one. Mad drifto.
