whew, active handling saved me
always keep it on guys 
i swear i thought i was headed straight for the wall at 90mph
was doing some spirted driving, had 3rd WOT, shifted hard into 4th, and it felt like i hit a wet spot...i was the only car on the road, and when my rear end broke loose, i did like a full swerve more than 45 degrees but the car quickly straightened itself out and literally put me back on the road
it doesn't sound like much, but that was some scary ****

I went through somewhat of the same thing last night. It just finished raining about 2 hours earlier and I was driving down a pretty steep hill and turning left at the same time. I guess I hit the gas a little too much and the back end spun around about 45 degrees. luckily the AHS did just what you said, it pulled me back in straight. After my heart finished pounding i was VERY careful the rest of the drive not to gas it too much. It's a life saver

An outside linebacker for the Chicago Bears.
He crashed his new Lambo Murciealago (sp?) Roadster on the highway at like 3 in the morning and then left the scene of the accident.
He claimed that he called the cops, reported the car stolen, and then called back like 10 mins later and told them the truth. The funny thing is, the police have no record of this phone call.
Anyways, I guess he did the smartest thing by leaving, I would have to assume he was drunk at the time, otherwise why would he leave the scene?
Saved his NFL year/paychecks at least.
