Just about binned the e30....

Last night I was headed out towards Coquitlam in the e30. Had the summers on with the formels. Things are great. ITs kind of rainy but I'm heading up towards the 91 connector just at the bottom of Nordel Hill. So I go over the over pass over the highway and all of a sudden all I can smell is diesel and the road in front of me is a complete rainbow of spilled fuel and the car just all of a sudden understeers like mad into the lane next to me. (To those unfamiliar with that over pass its curved and cambered). I managed to catch it. Back of the throttle and keep the car going striaght into a bit of a understeer plow and got some traction back and got back into my lane(Nobody else was around luckily or that could be really bad!). Merged onto the 91 connector and discovered that yeah diesel fuel will make your falken 512s really slippy. Nothing like barely touching the throttle going up and having the back end wanting to come around. I managed to cross the bridge and go down to Annacis island and "burn off" any of that residue.

Really surprised there wasn't a major accident out there last night. Driving on diesel is like driving on greasy ice!

thank goodness no accident.

You can tell me that.

It was quite obviously one of those fluke things that make it or break it. I've gone over that overpass countless times(At least twice a day usually). And have carried some good speed over it. Thank goodness I was going the speed that I was....

Yup, been there done that. On the onramp to the Granville bridge. Kind of like skating on ice. Unfortunately, I binned it huge that time.
