The first time I was in a car sideways

The first time I was in a car sideways was in our Holden statesmen when we, (mum, dad, brother Jason and me) where going to a restaurant and we where coming up to a ‘T’ intersection and the ground was wet, so dad floored it and went sideways around the corner. The engine was a V8 5.0 injection and the most powerful V8 is 5.7, so the engine was really strong and it felt like the wheels were doing 100k’s and the car was doing 20k’s.

Dad stopped using the gas pedal and the wheels gained grip when it was sideways and the whole car just shacked and my brother hit his head on a speaker that was mounted on top of the seat belt buckle on the door.

It felt like I left my stomach back at the intersection. And I found out you have to be careful when you’re on the roads in you’re cars other wise you can get badly hurt or get killed!
