| So no shit...... there I was: Coming around this turn, headed in the direction of the camera. This is a bad blind curve in the road just exiting a village. As I start into the turn, there is an oncoming car crossed over the center line and in my lane. So I reacted and turned harder into the turn to avoid him and bumped the curb / sidewalk on the inside. That caused me to fishtail as I came out of the turn...... 
As I was trying to correct the fishtail out of the turn on this straight, there was another oncoming car. At this time, I thought for sure I was gonna head on this second car. So......... I pulled it hard right to avoid her....... 
And the rest is what came of that........ Just missed the concrete telephone pole by about 5-6 ft. 
Through the trees sideways......... 
And LANDED (yes airborne!!!!) still sliding...... 
Here is the carnage that resulted from the accident
Looks worse than it is. I have already pulled everything off to assess all the damage, but have not had time to really get under the car at all. Observation of the underside looks good. Except for the covers to the fuel lines. The left front wheel is bent but the others are fine. Luckily, all the seams of the car line up fine. the hood, trunk, doors. Nothing is jamming!!!!! And the measurements that I took around the front don't suggest any binding in the frame at all. Won't know till I get her checked. All ready been shopping to get her back. Aside from the massive boost leak from the ICs being jacked, I was able to putter her back home, which was only about a mile or 2 away. Other than that the engine is perfectly fine....and there are no leaks or anything of that nature. Any way, just wanted to share my pain with you all. Will keep you posted on the rebuild. Should have her back up in running on the road in a couple weeks..... Hardest part is getting the parts over here quickly, but I already have about 80% of them on the way. Oh, BTW......Only thing hurt on me is my pride.
