Man, sorry to see. Glad you're alive though. That looks pretty gnarly.

I scared the chit out of me and the guy behind me one time. The rear snapped around coming out of a corner, and I was eyeball to eyeball with the guy behind me. Did a 180 and was looking at the guy. His eyeballs was as big as mine. :eek: I kept it on the track some how.

Causes. Big power, tires, road conditions, alignment, driver error, something broke, a combination of the fore mentioned.
After looking at my rear wheel that got torn off by the curb, my NT05's are really worn. I hadn't noticed they were that worn. Even one of the cops pointed it out. But the funny thing is, I was already up to speed, I didn't just stab the throttle when it happened. It was dusk, there might have been dew on the road, I'm not sure.

Thanks, I don't think any of the neighbors thought I would come crawling out of the car either.

When I got new tires recently, my rears were more worn than I thought.. Almost no tread on the inside.

With the Z. You really can't give the tires a quick look to see how they are wearing. With the rears. You have to stick your head under it to really see the inside of the tread. It's even worse with big meats. The more camber you have in the rear. The more you have to keep an eye one them.

Yeah, now I know. I looked at my last alignment sheet from last year and didnt realize how much negative camber we have. I think im at like -2.9

Thanks, I'm surprised I did. Somebody was looking out for me. When I heal up I'll take a picture of the big chunk I took out of the tree.

For a DD. That's way to much. I have mine set at -1.8, and I track mine. :driving:
