Default almost crashed...

so last night we were in the city (sf) and it was 2 of my friends in my xB. We were taking an exit to go on 280 towards san jo and its a 25mph turn that goes 360. We were all talking to each other with my music blasting and went into it 60mph. My friend says dude, ____.. So I turn the wheel and we're sliding and i tap the break right before we hit the wall and the traction control starts beeping and I think it actually helped.. Unless it was my dope as skillz, haha. So just to let you all know with 3 people in the car, 2 of them weigh 270 and I'm 240 + my subs.. the scion traction control works like a charm.

Amazing how much "stuff" fits in a Box... Glad to hear that you, your friends and the Box are OK...

I was right behind an Accord in the same situation (bunch of people in car, they were going about 60 on a 25 exit just as above, and they didn't realize they needed to slow down until the last second). The Accord didn't make it...
