but for the record there was NO one around when it happened, no cars nothing. there was a car way behind us that saw it happen and called the police for us. i guess you can say we got lucky.

really? i thought there was a car that you were speeding around to pass?


because you should be spending your money on driving lessons, not mods. youd be amazed at how much better your track times can get if you know how to drive, not to mention you will be a much safer driver on the road if you know your cars capabilites...obviously you do not.

No one around? 11 days to Xmas, a shopping mall area and "no one around". Sounds logical.

We are not heads of any sort, dick or otherwise, and to insult us is not really making your case. Are we to feel sorry for you and your age 20 bliss? Why the original post? To say how safe the Honda Fit is? Thanks, we already know this, the government does this thing called a crash test and it is a good idea as the dummy driving (in this case) is well a dummy.

You were speeding, by your own admission an unknown speed, hit "black ice" and crashed into a wall. All in a public, pre-Xmas area known for non dummies walking about, kids, old people, you name it.

You want "understanding"? Get it from your GF's parents.

*I am washing my hands of this topic.
