Thanks all, I appreciate you who have come to bat for me, but I also appreciate the speed I was going. Much like beating it past a radar trap without a ticket, it wasn't my turn...
Today was my turn, I was going too fast in a vehicle that doesn't have a butt like J-Lo. Other than driving too fast for the conditions I believe I have done everything to minimize the risk.
$htuff happens and my skin is thick enough for the comments..
Today was my turn.

Edit: If I were driving the 4WD Samurai, shorter wheelbase less hp; or the 4WD 4-Runner, longer wheelbase, more hp but comfy, maybe the outcome would be different.
I might actually get something done today.
