    Default Damn I need some new tires....

    Damn, I am kinda waiting to get new tires for the daily since Im still on the search for a rim / tire package that would work for me, but anyways, I almost wrecked big time on the way back from lunch.

    On Wieuca road near Lenox there is a twisty road behind the Bellsouth, and as I was coming around the corner I gas it a little bit, nothing crazy, and all of a sudden the back end fish tails out. I try to compensate , but it was too far gone... I do a 720 on the road and miss almost hitting a tree. Luckily nobody else was around me despite it being around the time everyone returns from lunch. I wasnt really shaken up about it until I realized how much worse it could have been. My two front tires are brand new though, but that didnt help much lol

    Oh well, Jorje is okay!
