My last post is me just wanting to clarify what exactly happened, after all that is what this thread is about isn't it?

I have no problem with whitefox as he said I'm actually thinking of purchasing his wheels if he doubts my story or w/e I have no problem with that. I just forgot to add a small little detail.....my BMC wasn't working properly so I tried to brake normally and it didn't work so I slammed the brakes and that worked.. I hit the curb with my right rear wheel which cracked it. I seriously don't want to talk about this anymore it wasn't a good experience

Also, my 928 has option code 220, which mean it original came with LSD so theoretically when I got stuck one wheel should of still turn even though the other cv axle was ripped too shreds right?? How can I find out if my car still has a LSD transmission.

I didn't read this whole thing. Why wouldn't it be LSD if you once had it?
Find a downward or up curving entrance "T", unweight one side by slight accel as you turn 90°. If the light side spins you don't have it. Or, jack the rear under the X. Spin one rear by hand, if it turns freely, and the other doesn't you don't have it.

c'mon now I'm not "trashing" him, I'm just trying to dig up the truth, if I was trying to bash him I would do a much better job than that.

Yea clear as a whistle Randy.... he posted this experience here for everyone to read and voice their own opinion, thats a forum right? All I was trying to do is figure out what actually happened because its a interesting story with alot of blanks and confusion. Sorry if thats a problem, and sorry if I upset/annoyed you in the process, I'll let it be.

The title of this thread says a LOT .... "My 928 S4 is crashed " anyone who has had kids has heard .... " MOM ! the milk spilled " which denies responsibility . Frankly you have to do something really silly to get a 928 out of control at normal highway speeds. The point about possibly learning how to drive is a valid one and not to be taken as a put down but more of a recommendation to learn what happens when you get out of control and how to react to that. Locking up the brakes if the ABS is not working means that you are no longer able to steer the car ! The tires act like solid blocks of rubber and the car continues in the direction it happens to be sliding no matter what you do with the steering wheel. We now have a generation of drivers who first learned how to "drive" on a video game and by watching movies.

Like I said my BMC wasn't working I don't know if you guys saw my thread of trying to rebuilt it..I'm just embarresed to say I drove it without proper brakes i understand how dangerous it was and how stupid of me I feel horrible I'm serious. I'm no better than a drunk driver.
