They probably were! At least you did not wreck into a tree or something. Have you got the Porsche up to a thousand miles yet?
Oh, fuck no... It's at like 300ish miles.
I wasn't really going that fast. I just hit the gas pedal at right about the apex so that I could enter the straight section of road at a higher speed. That happened to be on frosty leaves due to the shade, I am pretty sure. I didn't get out and look, but that's what I'm pretty sure was the cause.
So, I'd definitely catch it before hitting anything important. As long as nobody else was in the other lane, I'd be fine. It's got monster brakes on it. I'm very unlikely to bump into anything.
They could have just been wet leaves, those have been known to be slippery
It was pretty chilly last night. We had frost on my lawn this morning. So, I assume it was frosty still. I didn't go out until after 7:45, but I was out reasonably early.
I tend to not go out earlier than that, or at this time of the day - at least not this time of the year. There are school buses and I don't feel like dealing with them. I also don't want to have to keep an eye out for children.
