Well since you asked....

It had just rained and I was going around a slight curve. No problems until I went under a bridge and hit an oil/water mixture. This caused the rear end to slide out. I turned into the slide but the front end lost traction as well. After 100ft of sliding, the car gained traction but the front wheels were pointed into the slide instead of into the turn, this caused me to spin 270º and go backwards off the road. Right into a 6ft ditch. I hit with such force that it sent the car airborn, doing a backflip. I landed upside-down and slid another 200ft in the mud. The busted windows aided in my car's ability to collect as much of that mud as possible, about 150lbs worth. I crawled out without a scratch. The roof of the car was smashed in down to the top of the steering wheel. Well turns out, I wasn't the only victim of that slick spot. Another 200ft down the highway were 2 more cars that lost control. EMS and tow trucks had already been called to the scene by the time I found a phone. Wrong time to run out of cigarettes.

And yes, I still have post-crash photos of the car.
