Did you have sex in your car? Because I've tried and it doesn't really work!

Either that or you wrote off your car...congratulations on either!

LOL, well, I think we made it to 5. F-BOY was right, I took my Thirdgen off-road... note I said purposefully!

I was heading South on I-5 between Mt Vernon and Stanwood. It was raining pretty hard and I had just gotten out of bad traffic (not stoped, just big trucks going slow) and the road was empty, then I hit water and started hydroplaning all over the place. I ended up in a spin, headed over 4 lanes and ended up off road. I will take pictures of were I ended up.

It ws scarey and it took 2 hours to get out (darn tow truck...)

P.S. no damage what so ever

Hehe... I did the same thing in my Vette one time. Except I was on dry pavement. Had the throttle wide open, hit second gear, and ripped a rear tire off the rim. Big fishtails and finally a tight spin into the fied off the freeway. The instant I hit the dirt I couldn't see anything from that point on. Just kept spinning through sage brush and sand. Kinda fun in retrospect!
