Hydroplaned!
Yesterday was ridiculous. I was on my way to school and making a left. The road was wet and I hydroplaned. My car did a 360 went on to the sidewalk and into the grass. It was 2 ft away from an eletrical pole and 1 ft away from my school fence. If it wasnt for the wet grass stopping my car I dont know what i would do. My car dosent have one scratch on it and it drive perfectly normal like it never happend. I lucked out on that.. The only bad part is everyone at school saw it happend 
but other then that its good im safe and my car is fine.

What model is your car? Did you have your TCS/VDC on? Stock tires? How many miles on your tires? When you said you went on the sidewalk, was there no curb to climb over to get to the sidewalk? I'd say you are pretty lucky if you didn't have a scratch. Check your seat though..there may be some brown stains.

my suggestion would be next time its wet out, go to an empty parking lot(a verrrrry empty parking lot) and slide the car around a bit. It'll make you look like less of a fool and will keep those damn poles out of your way(those things just jump outta no where)

Hint: Read Your Previous Posts, Before You Make A New One.
Did you turn back, then disconnect the odometer since December '06 or was that January '07, when you bought the car?

A month ago I had new tires put on, and my first turn out of the dealership, I went sliding across a 4 lane street, did a 360. Everyone was staring at me with open mouths, followed by smirks. They were put on at Nissan so everyone was probably thinking, haha, look at that idiot...just bought a sports car and can't handle it
