Ok, so here is a fun video from last weekend. At the beginning of the day, I was complaining about not being able to get my FWD to rotate. Well...

Aaron, that had to be the smoothest and quietest spin into the grass I've ever seen
. Glad it wasn't worse, and and I'm glad you didn't hit the area where the concrete drops off. I guessing that there was no damage to the car? Did you have to get your tires re-mounted to get all the turf out of the tire bead?

Yeah, it certainly could have been worse. I scratched up the front of my car a little bit when it hit the 4-5 inch "bump" back onto the payment. Matt ripped a chunk of earth out of my back wheel, but fortunately the bead didn't break. All of the grass suck in there worked it's way out on the drive home.
I think I'm going to replace my tires now
