Just came across this video on reddit.com/r/roadcam ...hopefully the cammer stopped to share his info for the video so the driver does not get screwed over by insurance. definitely not @ fault here

That was a clean looking T4R too!

When in doubt gas it out! Way too hard on the brakes and were they going lock to lock in the steering wheel? Or just over reaction with shitty tires. Happened to me but it was day two of driving my 4runner in the snow on glare ice in 2wd with junk tires.

These aren't sports cars, but they are still RWD based and due to this will easily become tail-happy if provoked. I learned this when I was younger and thankfully I didn't learn the hard way. Just know that a 3rd gen with bald tires on a wet road is a drifting machine.

Or with skinny A/Ts and a rear locker

These things are as good at putting ricers in their place as they are at being reliable.

Yup. Was going around a bend entering the parkway. Was a little wet and lost control, spun out. Thank god it wasn't busy and it didn't go towards the traffic(65mph+) but it pushed me towards the guard rail and only scratched and ripped the bottom plastic bumper. Man my heart was pounding. Never again, now I baby around corners and cruise on highways.
