An “Interesting” Experience

Currently listening to nothing
Currently preparing to go somewhere

This is the following story from the previous post about me did 360 in the middle of highway. By clicking “Read the rest of this entry”, you agree that you won’t tell my mom about this and will not make this post as a blackmail material to make me do something. And of course, if you’re my mom, whatever I wrote here is a joke, really, no serious stuff here. *shiny eyes*. Love you, Mom.

I love my mom’s car. It’s a Toyota Vios. So far, it’s the 2nd best car I’ve ever driven ( the best was my friend’s Honda City ). Of course, this car is so much better than Suzie the Kancil. I rarely get to use this car because my mom luvs it so much. Most of the time, the family will abuse Bob the Proton Waja.

So, I have matters in Subang Jaya which I need to attend to. Since Suzie’s drive shaft is dying, I dun wanna take risk driving her far. So, I get to use my mom’s car. Yay. Seriously, i hate driving Bob. I prefer Suzie than Bob, really. Bob have crappy gear ratios and of course, “too big” for me.

My mom’s car RAWKS. Of course, this coming from a guy who drives a Kancil everyday. This car can go up to 180kph where Suzie can only go until 110 downhill. 0-100kph in average 14 seconds effortlessly. Superb brakes, superb handling and

HOLYSHIT!!!!!!

The car drifted and made a 360… O_O;;;;;

Yeap. Shit happened. Here’s the story:

I came out from Seafield’s toll highway, there was 2 junction: One heading Shah Alam, one heading Subang Jaya. Took the Subang Jaya lane, and met a 2 lane corner that leads to the main highway. Then I have no idea what exactly happened. The road was downhill a bit and wet. Maybe I went to fast but thinking again I’m not that stupid go fast at sharp corners.

The car suddenly drifted outwards and spinned 360 inwards. It felt like the front left tire’s gone. As the car spin facing the opposite side of the road, I tried to apply all the brake powers I have but the car still skid forward while spinning. The car stop as the tail of the car nearly touch the inner railings. Yeap, I can see cars zooming towards me now… but thank God they are quite far away. So, there was I stopped at the inner side of the corner facing the opposite direction .At that time, I seriously thought that there’s a puncture in the front left tire. So, i tried to drive the car to the outer side…. and I had no problems doing it.

Got out from the car and checked everything. No punctures. The tyre looks brand new. And zero scratches on the car. O_O

So… I’m pretty sure it was my fault then. Maybe I really went to fast. Could really feel the TCS kicks in and that might be a sign my back tire skidded.
Ok, that’s a serious terrifying event… and I felt cool at the same time. Ok, it’s stupid to feel cool about it, but.. HECK, it felt really cool. Call me an idiot.

So, I continued my journey like nothing happened. Of course, it’s too interesting so I told everyone about it. So now, so far I’ve been labeled as a safe driver and have zero accident record ( not caused by me ) … until now, not anymore. T_T

PS: Anyone still wanna ride with me? I’m a safe driver, really. It was just a.. “slip”.
  • Oh. So it did a 360 on the horizontal axis, not the vertical one.

    I was really worried on how you managed to survive a 360 vertical flip in a car actually, but it’s actually a 360 horizontal spin.

    Well, I guess everyone has their near-accident experiences, think of it as a spice of life, and another anecdote of your youth to tell your grandkids (if you reach that long lulz).

    Edo: 360 FLIP!!? Who gave you that idea?

  • lolx.. should i tell ur mum now? :p

    Edo: l2read

  • how i wish i was in your car that time…it would be so cool >.

    Edo: If you’re in the car, the wouldn’t be spinning… lol

  • So now, so far I’ve been labeled as a safe driver and have zero accident record ( not caused by me ) … until now, not anymore. T_T

    Awww, hey. Welcome to the club ! XD Ahem..just take it easy. I’m sure everyone has their near-life death experience accidents.

    Still…welcome to the club ! XD

    Edo: WHAT CLUB!? I’m a SAFE driver…

  • The “My Car did 360″ and the “I’m traumatized” gave the impression that you did a vertical flip instead of a horizontal one. I thought you were in some kind of serious accident but it turns out you just spun your car on the road. I didn’t know the Vios has TCS. I thought it only had ABS. If you had TCS, you probably wouldn’t have made the 360 in the first place. And the 360 spin was probably your fault. Cars don’t suddenly spin 360 in the middle of a highway for fun. Even 80kmh on a corner can be deadly. I did it once before. Not so keen on trying again.

    @Kurogane: A 360 vertical flip means the car wouldn’t be upside down, so it’s more likely for someone to survive a 360 than a 180 flip where the car might crush you, though my cousin had a 180 flip and came out with not a scratch on him.

    @kiddokun: edo can’t be in the club. He didn’t nearly die or kill someone. Hell, it wasn’t even an accident. And people are not afraid enough of his driving skills. Hitokira wants a ride. In conclusion, edo is NOT in the club.

    So edo, try harder to make it into the club. Gambatte ne!

    Edo: You forgot to put “slippery surface” into your account. TCS, EBD, ESC, OMG anything, it phailed me, the car skidded. And what’s with this “in the club” thingie? Is Being dangerous is something to be proud of? =_=;

  • Aw dammit. Nobody died :/

    Edo: …

  • damn, I thought I could at last pinch Edo’s PC :P

    Edo: Sorry, written my will already. Everything goes to my mom. >:)

  • please be careful.

  • Cambest jer nih… len kali nak bawak lelaju ajak la aku skali…
    nak merase gak ko buat drift 720 darjah plak…

    Edo: Kepala tengkorak ko. =_=;

  • Tell this to the vios modders wannabe ahbengs! Their VIOSes can’t even went over a hump properly! Ngahaha!

    Edo: Muahahahaha >:D

  • Wow. Masa pusing mesti cuak gile. Tapi bile tgk dah ok + takde apa2 masalah mesti ada rasa bangga / bersyukur dalam diri. Heh. :P

    Edo: Yeap. Cuak, cemas, panik, everything. After that, *smile*

  • I thought it was a 360 vertical too….

    Edo: Yeap, everybody thinks my life is too cool.

  • hypothesis: edo will either make a 360 degrees vertical flip along with his car or 720 degrees horizontal flip.

    hypothesis based on: edo had done driving to KL with federal road, and after that drove to penang using federal road

    experiment: 50% completed….. waiting the other 50% to be complete

    XD

  • 360 vertical?….. You guys obviously don’t play NFS.

  • i can imagine your face while your car was spinning. hee.

  • Huh, I didn’t know my linking to this post in my blog would make it appear at ur comments section . =_=
