Below are pics of my experience of a sports car, bad tires and a bad road. The car featured is a 1994 Camaro Z28 automatic. It was my 3rd one so I was not new to its capabilities, but I was new to this particular car and its shitty Pirelli tires. The incident happened while going to work. A deer had come out of the woods, hit my rear fender, and put me into a spin which I couldnt steer out of. I was fortunate to walked away with only minor cuts and bruises.

Before the accident:

The corvette's replacement, since the vette had WAY too many problems:

And that takes us up to my current vehicle, the Dodge Ram, which you have already seen.

Pirelli Sports tires aren't the best but there tires for trucks are pretty good. Must agree the replacement is really nice.

I got in car wreck last year. My brother had just bought the car and about an hour later i flipped it going 70 in a 50mph zone. I had my sister-in-law with me who was 7 months pregnant at the time. but we came out of it alright.

damn bro, be safe, at least you're in a monster truck now, it'd have to be a hell of a deer to put that in a spin.

*imagines some huge deer wandering the world looking for trucks to spin*

Sorry. That really does suck. I finally have my car back and can't wait to go joyriding, but these pictures were probably a good reminder that I should keep it under 100. *pouts a little* stupid speed limits and laws of physics.

Wow, that blows. I almost blew into a deer doing like 60 mph...Luckily, It decided to move JUST in time. It would've demolished my Saturn. :(
