When my grandpa was a young feller in the 30's he helped out on a local farm, & they literally used a old model T with steel wheels to skid logs out of the woods. Guys figured out all kinds of ways to use those T's

This reminds me of a news article some years ago where a guy was going around a curve on a country road when suddenly, out of nowhere, a motorboat came skidding along the road and hit him head on, totaling his car. It turned out that an oncoming car towing a boat trailer had entered the curve from the opposite direction at too high speed, jack-knifed and rolled over into the ditch. In the process the boat had separated from the trailer and continued its journey through the curve. It took a lot of explaining before the guy at the insurance company understood (and believed) exactly what had happened.

I used to drive my grandpa's Model TT out on the farm all the time when I was a kid. It was the first truck I ever drove, and pulling sick moves like this was par for the course-didn't always avoid a collision, though. Got a dent? Just beat it back out and go on with life. Grandpa always said, "Son, you learn to drive this, and you can drive anything." I expect he was right, because just about any other car is a heck of a lot less complicated.

Hey there, I’ve got a serious question for you. I think everybody would agree that spirited driving contributed to the near miss, but I’m still trying to understand the steering component. As you were exiting the intersection, it looks to me as if you unwrapped your lock too far, and that’s what put you in the bank. Why exactly did you unwrap it that far? It kinda looks as if you were either worried that you were about to cross the center line or you just misjudged how much lock you needed to unwrap in order to get the front wheels pointed straight again.
