So we took a right and I stepped on the gas... 1st gear... tires broke loose in the rain a little... shifted to 2nd, tires still loose but I just figured they'd grab. Wrong. Wet oily road, bald tires (after post-incident inspection), and slightly bumpy pavement. This all happened in a matter of seconds. Car was loose, couldn't stop or steer and we crossed the oncoming lane (thank God no cars or peds) and blasted "BOOM" my (new to me) car through a tiny decorative wooden fence that was next to the beautiful country club entrance, into their manicured lawn, and finally came to a stop. Again, happened in seconds.

I looked over at Brad... His hands planted on the dash. "Jesus, you ok?" "No way that just happened"... No one was hurt. Great. My next thought... What the eff do I do?! I thought I was for sure stuck in the soggy lawn. Put the car in reverse and to my amazement, backed out onto the road. Still no cars were really around. Put it into 1st and slowly drove the direction we were originally headed and to the first right turn I could make back to his parent's house. We had been in the car not 4 minutes. Unbelievable.
I HATE when that happens!
