I'll never denounce advancetrac. It is ectremely useful and it has no doubt saved my ass in the past few years. What happened last night was just plain wierd. It felt almost as if Something shoved the ass end of my car sideways, as if I had cranked the wheel and pulled the e-brake it was so unexpected. Not even advancetrac can counter that.

I agree, never rely on stability control, but when it comes time that your car starts rotating, having the ability to concentrate on steering while your car takes care of the braking is a huge help. I think more people could use the feature.

Anyways I will have my car looked at on wednesday then it's either a write off or I'll send it to Lazer to get looked over. Ive heard lots of good things about them so I'll give them a shot. Given the damage though, I sure hope it's written off. squeaks and rattles for the next few years just won't do.

You know I know exactly what you are talking about. A couple weeks back I was turning a cornor and the back end of my car just kicked out. Now I was not going ver fast at all was a left hand turn on a turn signal. I don't have abs or trac control. But the wheel just started to spin I grabbed it and the car straightened out, otherwise I woulda nailed the curb. The guy in the passenger seat thought I did it on purpose but I didn't. Felt like the e-brake was pulled. I blamed it on black ice, as it was kinda melty and did ice back up again, but I donno.
