    Default Wow I saw a regular Mario Andretti

    So I am sitting at a red light in a double left turn lane. I am sitting next to a plain white accord. The street here is a very smooth asphalt that can be a little slick. I turned left like a normal miata driver. Not like a granny but not as fast as possible. The in the accord stays right with me. The road we are turning onto files into one lane shortly after. I went ahead and let him go in front of me since he was driving sort of agressive. The road ahead is sort of twisty. Some of you might be familiar with it. It is the road right infront of the Fort Worth Zoo. One turn comes up and our friend goes through it until he realizes he is carrying too much speed to he brakes and the rear end steps out. He managed to correct it, but a tighter turn is coming up and he seems to think he has He drives right into and looses the rear end, overcorrects, then overcorrects again the other way. I was afraid he was going to put into the creek, but he managed to just tag the left rear wheel on the bridge curb. Funniest thing I have seen in a while. He kept driving and I stayed behind him until my turn. The rear wheel had probably 20 degrees of positive camber, the same amount of toe out. The car was crabbing 10-15 degrees too. What an idiot.

    Sounds like fun. I bet he felt smart.

    Then he'll tell his dad "Gee, I don't know what happened."
