RE: Went thru 3 trees last night...
GLAD YOU ARE OK!! Sorry about the car, man, but you know it can be replaced.
Not to kick you while you're down, but it is stories like your's that made me give up on automatic trannies years ago.
In those situations I simply clutch, coast/brake and steer out of it. When I do drive cars with autos I coast over slick spots if I see them coming. Good luck with your car.
