haha man that sucks.

any damage at all?
No damage I don't think. Luckaly there wasn't any curb on that part of the road so I just kind of slid straight into the field.

I can't beleive that the rear end got away from you with drag slicks going 10 mph, that's nuts.
He wasnt going 10mph, but 10 under the speed limit.
Say instead of 50,40

I know what you mean, last year I wasn't so lucky.
Was short on cash and Couldn't afford new tires right yet. But my camber problem roasted down my front tires(which i fixed at a later date). So I tossed the fronts up back and the backs up front.
Was raining one day like, a quick spurt of rain. Enough to get everything all nice and wet.
Was going down the road at 40, went around a slight bend in the road and the back end decided it wanted to go some other direction.
Spun around 3 times and landed into a ditch.
****ed up my rear bumper cover, and passenger side door(hit a road marker)
Came a few feet from hitting a parked taurus too.
Anyways, tip for the day: Look at weather conditions before heading out.
If the slightest chance of rain, drive another car if your tires arnt able to handle the weather.
