Yea, I'm fine. I got a minor scratch on my arm, and I'm sore as hell now, but other than being pissed off, I'm fine. I was leaving work, sitting at the stop light, and it turned green so I went. I took the left turn and while finishing the corner, shifted from 1st-2nd and while I was in the process of shifting, I must have given the car a little too much gas right before I took it out of 1st because when it was in neutral the back end started swinging out to the right. So, when it hit 2nd gear, it caught traction and swung me around, I jumped a curb and up a hill, went airborne for a little bit, hit the corner of a brick building while in mid air, then fell back down, rolled the car and it finally landed on the passenger side door. When it all stopped, I undid my seatbelt, and crawled through the drivers window, with the help of a bystander. Then I jumped down and sat on the hill. By then, the fire truck had arrived and I moved over to a curb. I could walk and move everything fine, but just really shaken up. I'm more pissed at myself for losing control of it like that, because it was the first day I had the car outside of my neighborhood. I had been driving it around and I seemed to be doing fine. I drove it to school, then work, then to lunch and back to work, but I guess I was just excited because I had a good day at work and got carried away or something. Luckily, nobody else was hurt, and the airbags worked. I guess I am very lucky that all I got was a scratched arm, ya know, cuz I could very well be in a box somewhere talking to Henry Ford himself.
