Default :EEK: almost died

Well i just had one of the scariest experiences of my entire life. I was comeing from a shitty day at work going down the highway. Nothing unusal just driving along. Well i dont know what happend, whether i fell asleep or just kinda zoned out, but when i "woke up"i was about 3 feet from the bumper of the van in front of me. I stomped on the brake, jerked the wheel to left (i was in the far left lane) then i steered back to the right but i steered to hard when i corrected and the car went sideways and spun out. I was lucky there wasnt any near by traffic or i could very well be a gone right now. Now my car has a really bad vibration at anything over 60. Im thinking its probably just crazy out of alignment due to the sideways skid, but with my luck it could be worse.

glad to see you're ok. I do that from tiem to time in the winter. I'll be perfectly fine and all of a sudden im dozing in and out of consciousness. It happens most of the time after work and when i have the heat on...so when that happens i roll the windows down and blast the heat...im still semi-warm..but i have the blasts of cold air shooting me in the face.

either out of alignment or if you were going fast enough, you could have "pulled" a wheel stud out further and down.

This "vibration" could be due to flatspots on the tires that you created during the skid. Don't ask how I know h: They'll go away eventually.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT. The flat spots will not just go away. It will create dangerous wear. Get the tires checked out and if they have flat spots change em.

not true. im not saying it is flat spots, it could be a number of things, but flat spots can be more or less noticeable at varying speeds.
