Sorry about the car, we all make mistakes. Some just end in a guard rail, and others just casually float into a field while hurling clumps of dirt everywhere.

Glad your okay! On Friday I got a blowout going 75 on the interstate in my 2000 Silverstone with you guessed it 25,000 miles. Your my cars twin of 25,000 mile 2000 bad luck. At the end of the day, it's just a car and luckily it's a lot easier to fix then a broken bone or something worse. Best of luck getting her fixed.

They don't need to be bald to compromise wet traction and quite a few people overlook the fact that the inners tend to wear faster. Glad no one was hurt though.

Glad nobody was hurt as well. So what if your not as good/bad a driver as the next guy. The car can always be fixed. I have learned this the very hard way myself when I got rear ended by a bus. Nothing in my control at all.

i like to cosider myself a "good" driver that can handle correcting a slide. ive dont a few drift events and spend alot of time with my buddies doing some parking lot/road drifting. of course being safe as possible with no other cars around or any other traffic. but it just caught me off guard. even the best driver have bad days....at least that what i tell myself to make me feel better.
