Wrecked the s2k
Alright, so people are starting to question why my car is at a body shop, here's the scoop...
So myself, Shane, Adolfo and Hisham are heading home from the after-party at Harris Hill Road which was after the Spokes Autocross heading towards highway 21 doing 35-40mph on the back roads. A left hand curve came up, making our way around, I saw an oncoming Mustang which was pretty close to the yellow center line so I moved to the outside edge of my lane almost through the end of the curve and my passenger rear tire hit grass/dirt since it's such a small lane. The car starts to slide off the road so I counter steered, got back on but the rear swung out to the left from loss of traction in the dirt, I counter steered that and the car swung back to the right 180 degrees. I put clutch and brake in and I went backwards off the road and into a tree.
The rear driver's tire was pulled out from the car so it was not drivable. I called my insurance and got a tow truck out there and a cop ended up swinging by and we told him about the Mustang and what happened. No citation since there weren't tire marks from doing something stupid. The situation probably went as smoothly as any accident could have so I'm thankful for that.
I just want to let everyone know that I'm alright and the damage isn't 'too' bad. It definitely could have been a lot worse. Thank you very much to Hisham, Adolfo, and Shane for sticking with me that night and helping me get back home. It definitely means a lot to have friends I can count on.

I had a Volvo S60 for a day but returned it because it was $13/day more than what insurance would cover; insurance covers $30/day. I'm in a PT Cruiser now only because my only other choice was a Suburban. Will is helping me find a better rental this week. Thanks guys!
