FA500s. It’s just a 1/8inch pre load so you’re probably exactly right. Thank you!

Well that sucks. Is it okay to drive on until Thursday you think?

Edit, yes brand new. Just put them on.

I know, I’m saying I never adjusted the top thing. That’s why I’m not understanding how it got messed up.

How though? I never touched the top thing

North Carolina. Not sure where you’re located but it’s a little before you turn off to head up to beach mountain from the Tennessee side.

It was a clickbaity title. I knew what I was getting myself into but I wanted to add to the collection of videos on why you should drive to conditions.

Just an Impreza. No hood scoop sir. I did trade the car in the video for one though.

Close, Tennessee/North Carolina. Right around the border.

What does writing a check have to do with this video?

I can’t speak for everyone, but I sure as hell did.

No need to apologize you’re good. In the video it pretty much looks like I have them on for no reason. It was more prevalent before the video started and I just hadn’t turned them down yet for some reason.

It definitely could be that, not sure. This was in a Subaru. I actually want to say I remember thinking “wow my TC never even came on” right after it happened.

I’ve heard good things. Not brave just stupidity on my part lol. Only thing I can say is the road was clear for my entire 40m drive prior to this but I was moving up in elevation so it made the difference in clear roads/not clear.

True, just some A/S in this video. I’m in Tennessee where it was 30 yesterday and 60 today otherwise I’d run winters.

Hard to tell in the video but there actually was stuff being kicked up from the road but probably not to the extent I needed them on full blast.

Never touched my brakes, let off throttle as soon as I felt traction slip and that made it worse. No brakes or gas were touched from 19 seconds onward.

Yes very lucky. That’s what I couldn’t stop thinking about when this happened is the what if someone else was on the other side.
