You are lucky. Not a scratch! But now, if you wanted, you can make that into an offoad rig, I guess

It was raining that day and i had some pretty bad tires(plus i was going a little too fast) and i came around a turn and the back end kicked out. it slid back and forth a few times until it went into the ditch. when it hit the ditch it flipped over and hit a tree and then spun all the way back the way i was coming :/

I rarely go over 50 because it feels like the inside of an off balanced clothes dryer full of wet towls.

I'm glad you're okay, and also glad that you are more cautious in your new Grand. Now, was the officer gratious, or did you get a ticket?
