Ok, here's how it went down.

I was driving in Acadia National Park along the park loop road, its a very fun twisty road along the maine coast. I was going along with a couple cars behind me went into 2 90 degree turns, the first one right, the second left. I went into the first turn at around 70, no prob, accelerated into the 2nd to 75-80, the front tires broke lose, then the rear tires, i went back and forth accross the road a couple times, right when it came back for the last time I thought I had it(as did the 2 cars behind me). At that time the rear tire de-beaded and came off the rim, the rim hit the tar, yada yada, the back end went into the ditch, then the rest of the car. I only had liability on the car, so that kinda sucks, but such is life. Just an FYI, I can actually drive, I know this car so well its scary, but when you lose a rear tire at those speeds, nothing you can do around a turn. Here are some pics, some from the nite, the others in my driveway while I part it out.

**see my post in the for sale section if your looking for parts.

sadly the rims didn't make it through...if you look at the pics of the rear rim, the left side of the rim, there is a chunk taken out of it...and the front rim has some metal missing from scratches. Very sad I think...but I do have to say that they are one of the safest cars on the road, I have said that since the I got the car.

That's really too bad about the car, but at least you're ok. Do you have any idea what car you're going to get next?
