That is exactly what happened to me. When the car fishtailed the second time and pointed toward the median, the tires got traction again on the dry concrete and the car shot across the median like a rocket. I watched in horror as the guardrail got closer and closer until my car smashed into it.

I still plan on selling it and getting a MT once it is fixed. The insurance company is paying for it, so it'll be like new in a couple of weeks. I should have pics posted within the next few days.
