It just takes an instant.

I just got home from Lville, had a ball down there. Today I dropped Rayvyn at the airport, and headed for home. It was raining off and on most of the way, no big thing. When I got off the Eway here in Toledo, I took a back road to get the the highway near to my house. the second curve I went around, the road was wet, the back of the car hydroplaned, then the front hydroplaned, and I slid across the road into the ditch. Fortunately I missed the catch basin, unfotunately I didn't miss the tree.

It's all repairable, but I am not a happy camper. I was not hurt, and I drove it home.

I got off the Eway, and let my guard down. Lesson learned.

Ouch! Glad you're ok. That takes the fun out of a trip but it was better being close to home on the return rather than when leaving.

Glad you're OK. Sorry about the car

Dang tha sux! The only thing that could make it worse is if you got a ticket. I know someone had the same type of accident and he got a ticket out of it!!!
So if you're gonna fix all that sheet metal you'll probably have to repaint the whole thing to get a good match....is it still gonna be pink?

Were you pulling the BBQ trailer when this happened? How is the back end? Could have "Jack Knifed" and messed up things even worse pluse really got your neck. Are we going to need a "body work" party before Kzoo? Glad you can tell us about it. GPster

Bummer!

Dang, man, I just got back from dinner and saw this. Glad to see you're okay. The metal can be straightened. Thank goodness FC took the trailer home last night.
All the twisting turns we took at high rates of speed over the weekend and this happens a stones throw from home. That sucks...

No, I wasn't pulling the trailer, Fatcat brought it home yesterday.

Dang Frank, im sorry that happened. Im also sorry I didnt get over to hang out at all. Everytime I drove by the fence I could never see the bbq trailer so I wasn't sure where everyone was. It seemed like every time i turned around I was on a mission to go somewhere, see something, get food, etc.

KustomLincolnLady · August 05, 2007, 09:47:01 PM

Awe dang that sucks :cry: I sorry, I'm glad your ok thought.

good thing you didn't have the trailer, that would have been much worse with damage at both ends

did you drive it home?

Carnut · August 06, 2007, 02:53:09 AM

Aw gee, my condolences.

Lots o Torque and less than straight with a posi-trac has been the cause of most those kind of problems with me.

Dave · August 06, 2007, 07:03:12 AM

Geeze Frank... Maybe think of a new color now

Glad your ok..
