Never heard that one about spools-statement doesn't make much sense either-if you're going straight, how would it kick you sideways? I just figured they were rough on axles...
A guy I knew a while back ago that hit a slick of water in a fastback mustang with a spool. He says he lost control and hit the center median. Popped a tire and bent a rim when it looped on him. I asked if he hit the throttle and he said no. As of now I don't know if he was telling the truth about hitting the go pedal!
