I felt like exploring my surroundings, so i hoped in the car, grabbed a road map, and found a road that went through the middle of nowhere, with no cities nearby and nothing noted in the area. A nice abandoned road in a national forest to drive down and think 'bout stuff on.
So as I'm driving, I see a side road coming up. its just a little gravel path, really, barely big enough to drive down comfortable (maybe 10 feet wide at most). I decided on a whim to see what it led to. The answer was more forest. For almost 5 miles I went deeper and deeper into the woods, and found nothing except places that would be awesome to go mudding in (being in a car, I passed them by).
After a fair deal, I decided to turn around and head back (seeing as I had prior engagements to be to, and was feeling rather hungry by then). The thing is, driving 5 miles through unfamiliar territory at 5mph is only fun once. So, being the drivan fan I am, i decided to crank it up a bit. I pushed it up to 15mph and noticed no difference. I entered a turn at 15 and pushed out of it, exiting at about 20ish (twas a rather mild turn, to be fair). By this time, I began to get the feeling of invincibility that small victories bring that is usually followed by "oh****oh****oh****oh********". however, I pressed on, ever eager to test my irl drivan skillz. I soon came to another, slightly sharper turn (maybe 60 degrees right hander, level terrain). I realized I need to drop some speed (I was doing maybe 50 at this point, owing to the large straight that had preceeded the turn) so I lifted off the gas, fearing a heavy application of brakes would cause the wheels to lock. I entered the turn at about 35, and all started out well. the back end slid out ever so slightly, so I counter steered and applied the tiniest bit of gas.
however, I noticed that I was nonetheless still drifting to the outside of the turn. I attempted to correct this by lessening the countersteer angle, however all this accomplished was bringing the back end farther about. At this point I was on the straight again, and was starting to feel the "oh****" coming. I then steered back some to the left to try to bring the front in line, and was promptly greeted by the back end swinging hard right. I fishtailed a few times, each time getting closer to control. alas, on the final pendelum, the back right tire cuaght the shoulder. It lost all grip and slid down into the ditch, bringing the rest of the car with it. As I felt it go over, I steered right to try to straighten the car (to bring the wheels that were now airborn into contact with the ground back level) and applied the brakes full on.
I came to rest not 4 inches from a tree.
tl;dr shame you didn't die
I then took a moment to **** a brick. After that, i put the car in park, and turned it off. i got out and inspected my surroundings. To my benefit: a pocket knife. To my detriment: loose, wet soil, a car in a 3 foot ditch, no cell phone (forgotten in my rush and anticipation), a 4 mile walk to the nearest road, and fairly bald tires (found the latter part out as I was digging them from the mud).
It took me an hour and a half to dig my car out. I dug a bit in front of it, lessening the angle required to get back onto the road, then cut down many a young tree and placed them in front of the tires to aid in grip. It was long and hard, but by *** it worked.
This has taught me two things. first, I need more drivan practice. Two, volvos are mother ****ing BEASTS.
My car is unharmed. the suspension is fine. the paint is fine. the alignment isnt even off. Its as if a viking stumbled into some bushes while trying to pee whiel drunk, and instead decided to cut them out of his way instead.
LONG LIVE DAS UBERCAR.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKING tl;dr
I didn't read it, but I imagine it's something to do with the fact you were almost flattened by another car. Probably the most dangerous experience you'll ever have in the navy, dude.
Not even close.
I always loved moments like that. Though I know there's no chance in hell I would remember the whole making sure the steering wheel doesn't lock thing. I'd be all like "oh noes the steering wheel is now locked whatever am I going to do now?" and then I would crash and burn and die and that would suck the end
ive played a lit of drivan sims that are true to rl physics, and spent a fair deal of time jerking off to various car things, so I'm not a total noob.
still pretty noob though, admittedly. Ive always wanted to go to a rally drivan school. maybe ill look into that over pschool grad leave :3
I almost got run over pushing some indian dude's car up an icy hill. that was pretty super
that's what you get for helping out that curry smelling faggot.
it's funny because he was driving a small, ****ty car and was blasting indian music when I went up and knocked on his window. Terrible driver.
almost dosen't cut it
come back when you do it entirely
I got hit by a car once. Good times.
i can just imagine this apu looking mother ****er sitting there grooving out to his heathen forhead dot music when vamp comes up and is like "im here to help you also grim" *peircings* and the indian dude is like "lol wut?"
He didn't even say anything. But he helped a guy who was stuck in front of him, so kinda had to help him too. Ended up being the only one. You'd think more people would help push, considering it'd go faster.
everything is solved with more gas amirite :*
In the words of the great Jeremy Clarkson, "POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER""
;)
Hit the nitro!
Go off the ramp!
Bonus points!
POWAH BOOOOOST!
do backflips while going off ramps on your super motorcycle.
anyone remember the stunt mode of rush 2049? best ****ing game mode ever.
Flatout 2's driver bowling was the best stunt mode ever. Burnout Paradise has some pretty sweet stunt runs, too.
you know what was cool about mine?
it was real
I didn't. :(
Pity.
If you have your 64 still try and score a copy of 2049. Still one of the most fun racing games I've ever played, and the stunt mode really is the greatest designed.
Downloading the ROM right now.
yeah, that's something a faggot like you would say.
i like real drivan, so it serves to reason that i would like a vidya game that lets me do some realisitc drivan in machines i could never afford:cry:
I've pretty much grown out of fake drivans, but if I still had a 64, I'd still have Rush 2049. I've loved that game.
Can't wait until Gran Turismo 5. The interior detail on the F430 is so beautiful, and the drivan experience is going to be richer because of it. Might pick up a Logitech G25 steering wheel w/ the gated shifter and clutch pedal to increase the nerdiness of the whole thing.
ultra realistic games make me lol
whyyyyyyyy
If I want a realistic drivan experience, I'll take my car outside. I play crazy stupid driving like Burnout because it lets me do stuff that's impossible.
When you buy me the castrol team supra and get it a stage three turbo cranking out 700hp, I'll go do it irl.
until then, you can cram your "lol realism"
see, i enjoy real drivan. so anything that lets me get as close to real top end drivan as possibleis fun to me.
I enjoy driving, I just don't enjoy cars. Nor am I a faggot like you.
You may enjoy roadtrips, but you dont truely know the meaning of drivan.
so sad:(
cars are ****ing stupid. they're a tool and nothing more.
Finally a statement about cars I agree with.
wrong. if cars were like tools, then everybody would buy the most efficient one. and not the piece of **** that runs out of power in a 5 seconds.
lol hummers
