Damn, this is getting freaky!
I hope you (and anyone else) are A-OK, Jeph.

This IS getting scary isn't it? Was it a full moon in the last week or so???? Sorry about your loss. Glad everyone is ok. Remember... like I've been told countless times, more so recently, its just a car. It's fixable. You may not be.

Started the car, pulled out of my parking spot took off into the night... only 20 seconds into my drive, I hit a path of spinkler system run-off (while turning). Here's why I lost control... traction control was off. That was dumb...
The damage isn't too bad... mostly cosmetic from my initial inspection. I was the only person involved. I hit a Yeild sign (irony) and what I presume is a valet stand. The sound this accident caused was horrific, and drew a decent crowd at almost midnight. I'm not a drinker, but was given a sobriety test.

Reminds me when I bought my Boxster. Salesman took a drive with me for an explanation/training session. He pointed to a switch labeled "PSM". He said: "This is a switch you never shut off. PSM stands for Please Save Me!"
Glad it's only cosmetic, but still looks damn expensive. Sorry for you, mate!!
