    Hi everyone, spending a beautiful weekend on Garda Lake here in Italy does not always end as hoped.. On the way back home me and my 2 girlfriends (55 Chevy and the human one:p) were cruising down on country roads at 80/90kph. A car was coming on the opposite side and invaded my side of the road. We touched the grass on the side with the rear wheel and I totally lost control of the car. It was terrible, we started spinning left and right and we ended roadkilling a road signal. Luckily we are ok, my girlfriend had a panic attack so my thoughts were everywere except on the car.
    We're fine, I would be ended worse.. Thanks god we're safe.

    That does suck, but it certainly could have been worse. The car can be fixed, glad you guys are ok.

    You were fortunate...I was thinking you may have been running Bias Plys as that is one of those things they can have issue with running off the shoulder can yield unexpected recoils...but looks like radials can react with equally nasty reactions...again something you'll never forget...patch it up and Keep on Keepen' on with the watch of vigilance as it's crazy out there...lucky you saw what you did...

    It could have been worse, you could have been in Cleveland.
     
  9. Be thankful it wasn't any worse. Both girlfriends can be made well again.

    Yikes. Glad you're both OK. Cars can be repaired or replaced. People not so much.

    That is a beautiful girl friend, too bad she was damaged but she can be fixed. As said, most important thing you and other girl friend weren't hurt.

    That is sad to see but as others said repairable. A good metal man should be able to work that out as good or better than it was once you get the replacement tail light to fit it to.

    I'm just glad to see that you and your lady are safe and not injured.

  25. I thought the distracted driver problem was a USA problem. Obviously not.
