Damn this TN crash curse!!!

Picture if you will coming home at night on a road you take with a high level of frequency. There is a curve. There is a patch of who knows on the asphalt at the curve. Great saddness resulted. But somehow, God guided my camry and made sure that only the car and no one else got hurt.
Going into the turn, my tires skidded on something. Started fishtailing. Lost All control. I did multiple 360s in 4 lanes of traffic on a busy road. But for what ever reason i was the only car on the road besides themajesticking who was behind me. I then hit the sidewalk with the right side of my car. the sidewalk was not the typical sidewalk. It sloped up. I was told that i then went airborne still doing 360s. I missed 3 trees on the way down about a 8 foot drop before hitting the one i ran into(at very low speed). The picture attached shows the next day with the space inbetween the trees i missed. tell me, how lucky is that? Themajesticking has pics of the towtruck pulling it out on his phonecamera. i'll post them later. you can almost see the tiremarks head for the tree and not hit it.

It was crazy. Unbelievable. It was about a 110 degree turn. He suddenly spun out of control from out of nowhere. He hit a 360 and a 180 the hit the curb and went airborn BACKWARDS between those bigass two trees and down a hill missing another bigass tree and then bumped into a small tree. Lucky as hell. I couldn't believe it. By the time I got out of the car and got across the street him and his brother were walking up the hill. I couldn't believe they were fine.

Maybe I am a good luck charm for other people.
Just not for myself. The camry I have now is starting to break the record for the longest camry to survive. It has been 10 months. I think the record was 9 or 10 months.
