bought an 04 back in january at an auction, everything was perfect except the rear tires were pretty much bald. on the way home i tried to go slow but i couldnt help myself and just kept amping it up until around a tight corner (live on windy roads) i hit some sand and slid out pretty good and my knee jerk reaction was to hit the brakes (fwd tendencies) which i immediately knew was exactly what i didnt want to do, hit the gas, slid out the other direction, hit a curb and dropped about 30 feet down a hill. luckily i was caught perfectly in a huge bush that was between two trees, the trees held the bush in place and cushioned my fall to a stop before i hit bottom. came out with a scraped front bumper, a slightly bent front right rim, and a small crease in the bottom of my rear bumper from when the tow truck lifted it out (no eyelet). all in all, not too bad considering what i did. but on my first day none the less. good times.

 

Hope that ain't no omen.

Ayway at least your OK and car isn't too bad.

I'm sure you'll think twice generally next time your out and about. Sometimes it just happens,othertimes you go eek I remember.
