Right and I didn't post that it was...actually I said it wasn't.

The first incident that I posted about earlier...I didn't hit anything....locked the brakes up...slid...hit the gas...slightly turned...and went sailing. That what I posted as a potential highside and even that I guess wasn't really a highside.
