Wet back roads ftl
Saturday night I put my Z into a fence :/ a very sturdy fence. off camber right hand turn, pretty slick. rear end came out...gave it a little opposite lock but it kept turning so I went to full opposite lock. the turn has a little bump so the rear end sat down, got some grip and snapped the car around on me, did full opposite lock in the other direction but it was too late...did about 270 degrees, slid across the road sideways and the rear end hit the fence, spun me around and I came to a stop facing the fence. tore off the rear bumper, its gone. busted the mounting brackets on one tail light, dented the impact bar, and bent some bolt holes on the rear fenders. waiting for the adjusters to pick up the sherrifs report. Heres a pick of me, Parnelli Jones junior, next to my mess :P I'm fine btw, sept for my pride :/

yeah. I fought it all I could but it just wanted to eat that fence. besides that past that fence are a few bushes that wouldnt have stopped me from goin over a 40-50 foot drop into a flooded quarry...so really I couldve died in a lame little 40 mph accident. so I decided to be happy
