We were coming back from the twin cities on 94. It had been snowing pretty heavily, but it wasn't a really big deal, I had only seen one accident the entire day. We were in our new Durango at the time (i think this must have been 2002), anyway so we were going about 70 mph and the wind picked up and blew the backend at the same time we hydroplanned; we were going to roll but we hit, perhaps luckly, a bridge underpass. The entire rear end (we hit going backwards) was totally smashed in and some fairly substantial damage to the rail thing on the brdige. Hella scary.
Then, this winter, both were my fault. I was late for getting to school, so I was going pretty fast entering the parking lot. There are two little curves that I usually take pretty fast; anyway it didn't appear to be wet at all, so I punched it come out of the turn... well to make it short I started drifting hardcore around the curves and ended up doing a 180 a few inches away from a light pole. Fucking stupid... this was like two days after I bought it (the GST Spyder).
In my old car (the talon), I was by my GF house and there are some nice curvy roads, I pulled the ebrake at like 2:30 in the morning and for some reason maybe i didnt let off soon enough, it slid like 20x faster then it usually does and I ende dup hitting a stop sign and my back bumper almsot falling off (fiberglass). it was kinda funny, and I learned my lesson.
