Rolling my Mazda
3.07.2002 7:16 PM \| Link	While I lived in Oklahoma City, I used to commute to Oklahoma University with my friend Scott - it was only a 20 minute drive. One day we were driving home on the highway in a slight drizzle in my Mazda GLC. I remember that "Back in the USSR" by the Beatles was on the radio, and one of my stereo speakers went out. I looked down and banged on the door a little to get it to kick in, and the car drifted off the road. When I looked up, I overcorrected and the car started fishtailing on the wet highway at 65 MPH! I finally got off the highway and into the muddy grass, but the car slid sideways and did one complete roll, shattering the windshield, and landing right side up. The first thing I heard was Scott saying, "Here's your glasses." We were both unscathed - no cuts, no bruises. However, the car was totaled. It's a miracle that Scott and I were both fine and back at school the next day! My car was brown, but this is close to the actual model. Labels: life
