Hello fellow LFS'ers!
Ok, not like it's a huge bulletin, because it's not...haha If you all recall I now go by the name Pyro, not the old Yodman you were all used to. However, I've had a long absence from LFS as my steering wheel gave out back in June, so I gave up for the most part. I've since popped in once or twice a month maybe online on ym gamepad, but I've come here to return good news! I'm going to get a new wheel soon, which means a full-on return to LFS! You cna bet I'm looking at a G25 for an early Christmas gift from my aunt who will be up in November. So, basically around Thanksgiving time I should be back up and running with a wheel, shifter, adn finally 3 pedals! I can't wait!
Like I said, it'd not a huge bulletin, but I thought I'd make a note for all of you who may recognize the name and wonder where it had gone!
Good luck to all you fellow real-car drivers out there too, because I just had a minor incident last night. Scared the crap out of me too, as well as my friends in the car with me. It had rained, so it was slick as ice out. We were coming back from a friend's house at about 10 pm or so, and everything was going fine. I was trying to amke good time
getting home so i wouldn't be late, so I took a couple shortcuts, however I wasn't driving like an arse. I was following the limits lol! So, moving on, I come up to a corner about 25 mph, like every other corner I had taken, and I enter, slow down to about 20, and then accelerate again to go straight. The car fishes out on me to the left, so I counter it, save it once, and then it kicks back around the opposite direction, and I go to counter again, NEVER THINKING TO HIT THE BRAKES (had I done so I would've saved myself no problem) and as I begin to counter, I'm already at the shoulder on the opposite side of the road and next thing I know, I'm off the road about 5 feet into tall grass. Thank God it wasn't a ditch, adn no one was hurt, and nor was the car, and nor was I going any faster, and nor did I flip the car! This was my first incident ever! I've been driving on my license for I believe 6 months now. Until now I haven't once had an incident, but for now I'm terrified to drive my car and I've already put it into storage for the winter because I'm so scared of it! (For all of you who may remember, I drive a 2004 Ford Mustang that's bright orange) Like I said though, no damage to the car, to us, or to any private property, so all is well. Yes, the car had been stuck, trust me I tried to get it out...My dad eventually brought his truck and pulled me out... Haha, sorry to write a novel, but I was in a writing mood just now...and now I shall head to bed! Good night all, and be careful driving out there!
