My Saab is dead. If you haven't heard, it got totalled driving out to Las Vegas on 24 July, en-route to DefCon. Short version is:



I was coming around a wide sweeping corner, downhill towards Stateline (from CA into NV)... hit an oil slick, in the rain (my car was loaded down in the back, and it's Front wheel drive)... front lost traction, back came around the corner still... spun twice across the fast lane into the median-ditch... hit sand/dirt, momentum kept going and it rolled twice, finally landing on it's wheels (3 of which blew out).
