This was in late October 2021. We wanted to catch the Northern Lights so we drove to a North facing beach after dinner. My wife and I were chatting away and I decided to turn around while it was still light out, as the small mirrors and no backup light can make it a challenge. The road is quite wide and the turn broad so I didn't give it a lot of thought, just swung the tail around......Once I encountered the wet grass I was done for. I dropped out of the low side door and after seeing the situation, shoulda crawled out on the high side. My buddy that runs the triple A franchise was off island so the kid that showed up in the wrecker was his new son in law, who after the tow told me it was his first 'solo'. I stood on the high side running board for ballast. Cop gave me his brief test and agreed I was not under the influence. Tow was fine. Not a ding or scratch on anything, And as a woodie builder am very happy to report that all six doors were opened and closed several times for various reasons, like getting the dog out, cellphones etc and all six operated exactly as if I were parked on level ground even while tilted into that monsterous ditch. We drove home as if nothing had ever happened. Glad for that foot rest alongside the accelerator as I may have been shaking a bit still.
