check your tires. make sure they have enough air in them and also check for tread.

i changed my tires about a month ago so it wasn't that
i wasn't driving more than 20 mph, i went to shift into second, and next thing i know there's a cow staring at me

there were some small pebbles on the road, maybe when i let out the clutch in second the back end tried to get in front, thats the only thing i can figure

Sort of the same thing happened to me last year. Went through some bushes. I actually had a steel belt break inside one of my tires (and before the flames they still were not down to the wear indicators). Back end kicked out uncontrollably for no reason.

After the wreck I had bubble marks on the sides of 3 of the 4 tires, so I replaced them all and the shop told me what had happened.
