I remember one time in my XJS where I was going up a sharply curved highway on ramp where I thought the curve was straightening out and I gave her the gas and she went spinning right around. It was raining out. That shit happened fast. Next thing I knew I was facing the car behind me and then the guardrail and then I was back around. 360 degrees on a one way curved onramp without touching and of the damned close guardrails! I was worried about what I was going to do being backwards on the onramp without room to really turn around but I didn't have to worry about that anymore! I was freaking out, but I imagine the people in the vehicles behind me were thinking 'cool'.
I managed to limit it to 180°. I didn't panic or anything and it's a situation I've dealt with before.
I finished the route I was on and came home, however.
You cut your ride short after that? Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, I just went back and hit the corner again, finished the route I was on, and headed home. I did stop to fuel up, so I'll go out again tomorrow.
