Re: MitsuStyle.com Fall Cruise 2014 - Pics & Stories

Looks like a fun time as always, can't believe it's the first cruise I've missed in over 7 years.
Question for Paul, how did you go off there? It looks like the paved road has a gradual right turn, was that where the sand was? It looks like you went off on a gravel road, but kept the wheels straight at least.

I just went too fast on a street. The road did not provide as good of a braking surface as I thought, and there was no way to make the turn at the rate of speed I was traveling and I creampied the ditch.

Is there such a thing as a morning-after pill for the ditch?

Stayed in it too long, huh? That'll happen.
At least you recognized you wouldn't make the turn and went straight off instead of going sideways and maybe rolling. Any damage to the car?

Miraculously, no. Just a few scratches on the 24 year old clear coat!
