But luckily there was no body damage. My brand new, pretty, clean wheels were covered in mud. The ditch was still pretty wet from where it rained all last week, so there was a ton of mud under the grass. The mud made a good cushion for my car.

Some guy stopped to help me and he managed to get my car out w/o messing up the body. I don't know how I managed to do this w/o doing anything other than knocking it out of alignment.

These pics are after I drove it to Firestone. Before that you couldn't even see the wheels or tires on the right side.

The truck in front of me slammed on its brakes and when I hit mine my car just flew off the road. I know that sounds ridiculous, but thats what it seemed like. Undoubtfully when I hit my brakes I didn't have a tight grip on the steering wheel; the front right tire must have turned a little and I went in the ditch.

I wish I would have taken a picture of it in the ditch. I can't really explain it in words.

There was at least a car length between us, but I hit my brakes too hard. I just saw her hit her brakes really quick and instead of just tapping the brakes lightly I did the same thing she did. I don't know why, but I just did.
