Thumbs up Audi A4 Loses control on a highway

Watch this video,a guy damn near crashes but gains back control of his(seems to be a B5 with some serious steering wheel,maneuvers ) on a high way,must have hit a oil patch from what i can tell.


Right before losing control the radio at 0:45 said "Your time has come" and "let your soul run free." Scary ****! lmfao! Then,right after he gains control of the B5,the guy in the radio says something,that sounds like"Quattro" LOL!

I mean damn,even the artist singing in the track,knew that Quattro is DA **** after all that over-steer and still kept control! LMAO

He did have a nice save. What I'm not getting is why it looks like it handles like **** even pulls left/right while taking off after that whole thing, watch closely?

haha whoa i saw this before, but not this video where he actually gets out to check around. In the other video people said it was an oil slick.

When the video was originally posted a couple years ago, the poster (presumed to be the driver) stated in the comments section that he had just left a track event and was running on severely worn tires--kinda dumb to be going that fast. The video was taken down and has since been recently reposted.

That was some scary ****. I think he got out of the car to check his underwear.
I did hear the Quattro once he gained control again , funny.

^ LOL ya, the radio playing in the background gave the arcade feeling.

Honestly though, that was some serious driving skills to recover from something like that. He could've have went over the railing down the cliff.
