Got a fix it ticket...

[NeonDan]

Making a left from Trinity onto Little....got up on 3 wheels, then sideways then 360'd the car while maintaining some control at about 40mph. Road was dry, tires were cold and the Sheriff was sitting at the intersection with front row seats to the show. Halfway into this i could see 3 three perfectly lined up and very metal newspaper stands aswell as some unidentified debris but thankfully no ditch or curb. Shocked and stunned he paused before he came over to check it out. The gist of the conversation:

him - "what was THAT about??....atleast you made the light..."
me- "uhhh my back tires maybe a lil low on tread.."
him- "....umm you do realize this is a FWD car...."
me- "YUP! i know....."
him- "Sit tight.."

*30min later*

him- " i made it so that you dont get any points on your license cause quite frankly i dont know what to call this. I mean you didnt look like you did it on purpose but man i aint never seen nothing like that before. I have commend you i thought to myself this is gonna get very hairy but you kept the car under control and on the road...."
me- " yeah....well neons arent quite your average FWD cars..."

citation comment line: UNSAFE TIRES

*signed the citation*

him- " Have good night, drive safely and make sure you take care of this matter wheter you take this to court, fix it/have officer sign off or you pay the fine.."
me- "Thank you sir...will do..."

So now im home....thankfull for what could have turned out way worse. Time to take off the SRT strut tower bar, 24mm SRT front sway bar, 19mm neon ACR rear sway bar and get new tires....

night fellas...

Classic. I bet that was a little uncomfortable glad your ok. Get some meats on that thing.

[siberian57]

dammit, see i need to be in Florida for these things. thatta boy danny!!

[manic_mopar]

man, i was thinking while reading this that you were in your SRT. I was like "dan really shouldn't be driving around on DR's on the street". Glad you & the car made it out ok. Obviously you know about what those parts do to the car, but other people just throw on sway's and strut tower bars and then wonder why the car is so loose around turns.

I'll jump on the bandwagon, go get some new tires!

[srt87]

i have the hotchkis sways,front and rear strut tower braces and lowering springs...the car is never loose on the turns. it felt loose with out the sways
