I've been in a couple situations like that myself. taking my foot completely off the pedals have saved me and my ride plenty of times...especially in rain. Over all...I'm glad that you and your friends are ok. Thats what really matters. Dont be so bummed out about the ride....at the end of the day, its just a hunk of plastic and metal. Acura makes other ones just like it. Take care.
And "drifting" with no control is... power-sliding.
I don't think he mentioned any raining or such.. but I don't know how it is in the states at that time.

Glad you and the others are okay though! It's a good thing no one else was also involved.. atleast so it seems.

I'm glad everyone was ok. This is another reason I don't like 99% of the aftermarket suspensions out there. Typically underdamped and when carrying passengers it's sitting on the bumpstops. You effectively have no suspension so the first bump you hit sends you into a spin.

So far doing well with the G, Although 3.5L feels like granny's car compared wit the TL. As the G does have lots of aftermarket goodies, i see a show car in the making. If u see a diamond graphite G on Azine meets u kno thats me
