This may sound weird, but I think it is really cool that you have a picture of yourself at the site of your wreck -with the wrecked car. I can't explain it, but I dig it.

And it looks like you hit pretty hard too. Good to see you're ok bro.

I think you must also consider the effect of rain on a road that has built up a lot of dust, rubber and oil from the passing traffic. I once read where the initial part of a rain event is the most dangerous. The oil and water (rain) will not mix, and until the rain has carried away the oil and other material it is like driving on ice.

p.s. donjuan are you going to the Grand Prix on March 12?
