Default Hate the Rain

So I was driving to work this morning in the monsoon and lost control of the car. Luckly there were no other cars around me durning this time. I was doing about 45 in the slow lane traveling east on hwy 44. I proceeded to spin and I was along for the ride. I did a 540 crossing the fast lane of the highway and hit the center concrete median. To say the least, the concrete won.

Not as bad damage as the Dodge SUV that appeared to do similar on Page this morning - their whole front was bent. Glad yours wasn't worse...
