Woo no shots of me going over the yellow. I may have crossed it a time or two but nothing more than running over with the LEFT tire

everyone! That's me.

The car came out just fine with some scratches on the bottom of the left rear bumper. I was pretty darn lucky to not have any rocks on that ditch, just a whole bunch of wet leaves.

I'm absolutely fine also. The car was completely vertical on the driver side when it came to a stop(we pushed it towards the hill so it won't tip-over). It was an interesting feeling climbing out of the passenger side door. It felt like getting out of a submarine!!

In closing, even though everyone in front of me had to do panic stops to avoid running into each other and I had nowhere else to go, this was easily an avoidable incident if I had only given myself some extra room especially on wet roads. I'll hold on to that lesson!!

Stay safe out there!!
Glad it worked out, buddy.

We pulled off and talked breifly on the way home and you were sitting in buddy's passenger seat. One question though, why was the bucket on your lap Doing a little roadside wash of your vertical baby?

his car was so very full with stuff on his passenger seat and trunk. Part of the perk to staying dry and warm in his car was to hold onto the bucket because there was nowhere else to put it!

There is a world of difference between being on the line and being more than half a car across, especially when there are bikes in the other lane!
Oh definately. I just saw a picture of me on Killboy on the line and figured I'd mention it.

I've seen people drive the Dragon like they live in England..
