Default almost wrecked it last night

Going home from work, going way to fast, about 80 or so. I come into a curve and there is a deer in the road. I hit the brakes, rear suspension unloaded and started to come around. I get back on the gas to try to straighten it out, (by this time the deer ran off) rear ends jumps to the other side, then finally straightens back out. I was going sideways down a two lane road for a good 50ft or more. I was puckered up and saying ohhhh shittt the whole time. 55 the rest of the way home.LOL

Been there, done that. My bro was drivin his '02 ECSB Silvy. He hit some black ice @ 70-80MPH. I looked in rearview just seconds before to see a Dodge Ram getting real close.
WE went sideways, like a buch of S's connected by more S's. My bro used to drive professionally as a delivery driver & a truck driver. He's also taken a course in Homestaed, FL on Performance Driving. I think it all helped. Anyone else IMHO, woulda crashed or rolled or both. There's no doubt. It was a tricky situation that caused my rear to pucker. I counted my blessings. Somebody was lookin out for us. Perhaps u too.

After this, the Dodge Ram backed off, WAY OFF! NO skidmarks in my drawers either!

LOL, the first thing I did was look around to make sure no one saw what I did.
