Spun out rounding a sharp on ramp in the rain, hit the wall.
All done in slow motion, 35 or so. Very Stupid.
71 South Bound Ramp from 42 South.

What color is that, ei8ht? Maybe it's just the lighting, but it looks like bronze. I like it.

You didn't think it was a bad idea to go fast around a sharp turn in the rain? If you were going slow there is no way you would have spun out. 25-35 mph will not cause you to spin out unless your tires are racing slicks...

Sucks that it happened but I think it's safe to say you were attempting to speed/drift around the turn. Just my opinion though...

+1 for the AutoExe bumper.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

In Middleburg Heights?
If so, I take that same ramp coming home from Harbor Freight to get to the Turnpike.
I'm also guilty of taking that ramp a little quick, but not in the rain!

I like how you're taking it to a body shop called Body Shop...That's like going to a place called Strip Club or Barber Shop...HA, made me laugh.
