I can't go into the details of what happened tonight, but because of my stupid driving, cheap tires and brakes that aren't perfect,,, I had a little incident on the highway tonight. After spinning around multiple times and going into the grass median (still spinning) the contour is still going strong. I know many cars would have atleast some trouble from this and of course a truck would have flipped. My only problem is my amp is somehow shooting sparks. My contour has put up with a lot of punishment and is a great car. I really need to treat it better and be more careful and maybe get those brakes fixed.  I think the contour is a great car for a teenager as it can handle stupid driving very well and is pretty forgiving.

Yeah the car is fine, just amp came un-grounded and left much of my crappy korean tires on the highway. I think I'm gonna be much much much more careful from now on. I could have easily died tonight if I had collided with another vehicle. At the speed I was going I don't think living through a wreck would have been a possibility. Anyways everything is fine. Thank God.

I saw that eh.
Its a 96 gl, gotta figure if you ding a few panels up and do some suspension damage...it wouldn't take too much to have an insurance company call it a total; our cars don't hold value too well eh.
edit: glad to hear.

I did no body damage,, if I had hit anything it would have been bad, real bad. And suspension is fine (other than the things I already am about to replace). I only have liability so it doesn't really matter what an insurance company says.

i know the liability only feeling, if you [censored] it up its on you...and nothing but your wallet is gonna take the hit. i cant afford full coverage, 2 tickets in three years (both were post 100 MPH, no lectures please) will do that to ya.
