Exactly! Glad that you are okay and that there was no damage to the car. Sh$t happens all the time. Still going to make the meet, though, I hope!

Glad to hear you and the ride are OK. Now get that Brullen system on so at least one of us can enjoy it!  P.S. One thing I've learned from surviving 23 years of motorcycle riding is this, ride like every idiot on the road is going to do the stupidest thing possible  right in front of YOU. You'll be fine then.

I've been in the ditch b4!!! Only car on the highway...lotsa snow....spinning......rear bumper....exit sign....then you get out realize you have a little hole in your bumper and you get this big sigh of relief and its kinda like "fug yeah, I'm alive"  It seemed to me that if this had been a fella, there wouldn't have been as much ummmm...BS!!

Wouldn't the roads have dried up a little from last week? 
On a lighter note, good to hear no kids were ran over and you and your car are fine

glad to hear you and your car are ok !
one time it was like 30 degrees F outside, in driving fast (~80 mph) roads were 100% dry. im braking hard into a turn
snow tires and shot suspension = bad idea. tires lost grip, car is sideways at 65mph coming out of a bend, telephone pole coming up in front of me. luckily there was no oncoming traffic, and i regained control without hitting anything, and left a BIG ASS SKID MARK !
i learned my lesson, and have been safe since.
plus im gonna buy new suspension real soon, and tires/rims
shot suspension plus snow tires on 14" steelies = BAD !
on a side note, the other day i got owned in the twisties by a grand am !!! thats how bad my suspension is! also, when i hit a dip in the road it bounces up and down a few times

No, that's okay. I'm over this bs! I didn't expect this kind of reaction out of everyone. I usually don't take things this seriously, but something bad could've happened and people just want to joke! I thought everyone would be a little more sympathetic. Oh well, I guess I learned a lesson.
Thank you to those of you who showed cocern and to those of you who didn't, well......... 
Sorry Amanda for the heartless bs comments. CEG is usually actually very nice, people are genuinely concerned, and worry about each others wellfares. . .those guys that post otherwise are having their own personal issues, we're all very glad you are ok, that you're car is intact, and that nothing more catastrophic happened.
Oh yeah, to the 'tards telling her she was going faster, she would've had EXTENSIVE damage to her car, split body molding, bent rims, extensive undercarriage damage, etc. She's not lying, I've flown into a ditch with my baby. . .I had just installed my Koni/Eibach setup and was romping around in the rain with my new Enkei RS5's. . .needless to say, taking a turn at 50mph isn't such a smart idea on an open road in the rain 
Clean those rims up and post some post-accident pictures. AND CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGE to the undercarriage and suspension. . .

I wouldn't go that far...
I was just lookin at it from a lighter side (school zone and having to slam on the brakes then swerving)...SORRY! Definitely don't want another sticky thread in the general forum!
I'd be pissed if I ended up in a ditch!

Of course, I'll still be at the meet!
Thanks everyone for your concern! It means alot when people that don't even really know you care if you're okay or not.
