    So i tottaled my car.

    Well this morning on the way to Auto-x, i met a a freind at waffle house. I was in the left lane and i was crusing the speedlimit as he pulled away into a big ball of overspray from his car tires ( it was wet and kind of rainy). Well as i started to slow down a little, people were getting on my *** fast, to i changed lanes to the slower right lane. As i chanegd lanes, i hit a patch of water and i felt my backend slide right from under me, when i felt the car starting to hydroplance, i slowly tapped the brakes so that i wouldnt lock them up. Well i corrected the cars spin going right then it jerked back over and the back end spun left, and i was completely backwards by the time i was in the grass. I was abotu a 1/4 mile from my exit, and the rightside of the interstate was at a slope. As i spun around twice i hit a sign infront of a concrete colvert head on, that that spun me around once again into the edge of the concrete. My back passenger tire went from normal looking, to turned 90 degrees inwards, so the wheel and tires was perpendicular to the car. i think total distance of spining was about 500 feet, i think i blacked out because people said i was spinnign forever. So the outcome, is i have a big dent in the front and its all out of wack. The back bumper was ripped off, and my back rear quarter pannel smashed in. The impact of the car into the concrete was so great that in my backglass the window tint slide slideways, keeping the glass intact (kinda weird, il have to get a pick.) I have liability on it, so il never see it again, i'l just most likely part it out.

    All in all, my back is a little sore and i have a headache. i had on a 4pt race harness so i didnt move in the whole spinning ordeal. And to top it off i got a ticket for doing the speedlimit.

    That realy ****S up your morning rigth there.

    sorry for any typos, im still in shock of what happened.


    il get pics hopfully tommoro when i go out to the lot where they have it. If i get enought intrest on parting out, il get it towed back to my house. 1991 e30 318is 120xxx miles

      Damn man. Sorry for that too happen. Just be happy the car stayed on the ground.

      My dad did the same in a VW fastback. Took out 300 ft. of freeway chainlink fence.

              Happy to hear that you're at least still here to tell what happened.

              I had a similar spin out last Dec. - 65-70 mph, changed lanes smoothly, but one single patch of ice got a back tire before I could avoid it. Back kicked out before I even knew what was happening, I over corrected and spun off the road. I luckily slowed down enough in snow/mud to avoid any real damage. But damn, I know how it feels. No matter how much you think you know about controlling your car, and how you prepare yourself for any situation, sometimes shit just happens too fast and is out of your control.

              Good luck man.

                  What did they write the ticket for? Good to hear that you're alright.

                    Sad to see another one go, but very glad to see you came out alright. No injuries? Consider yourself lucky. It seems that ticket was the last kick in the balls. I hope you will consider another M42 of course.

                    Scary, your car is just like mine. I gotta be careful now....karma has been a bitch recently.

                    Good luck my man.
