[masraum]

Possibly funny, somewhat related note. This is a road that I drive daily on the way in to work in the morning.



I come from the lower left, turn left at the light and then take this "S" curved ramp to the frontage road before getting on the freeway. I generally pass someone on the way to the frontage, but you have to be careful because the surface is quite slick and the hardest acceleration is usually at the very beginning in the curve. Especially on days like yesterday that were quite cool and very damp from overnight fog.

Yesterday morning, I noticed several police cars and a couple of tow trucks in the lots off of this "ramp". Upon further inspection, I noticed that one of the cars was a C6 that was pretty banged up. This morning I noticed lots of tire black on the outside (top) curve. If i had to guess, I'd say that the guy tried to get on it, got sideways, and kissed the curb before losing control.

There have been some occasions (with more favorable weather conditions) where I was the only one on the ramp and under hard acceleration felt the rear get a bit loose. I'm guessing that V-8 torque came out and bit the guy.
