Already Went Into The Ditch!

[GJS]

Here I am, winter weather veteran, skilled snow driver extrodinare, and I went in the ditch going to a local store! Turned, well, I turned the wheels, the corner and kept going straight. I hit the brakes, instant lockup, and accelerated into and through the snow bank and down into the ditch. I felt awesome! It's amazing how many trucks drove by, looking at me, and kept going. Thanks, townfolk! Laura came and asked a guy she knew working nearby, to pull me out. Just needed a little tug, and it came right out. I was driving my '08 Dodge Avenger, which is usually pretty good,but the freshly plowed street had no sand or salt and was slick as can be, with ice under it. The truck needs an overhaul, so I guess I'll drive like grandma in the turns for the time being. Oh well, a good start to winter driving for this guy! No pictures were taken, so it must not have happened, right? Oh wait, I just told you it did, damn!

Glad you're ok, man!

Here's a couple shots of my New Yorker before I bought it. I was told the PO hit an elk somewhere out west. The car was originally from New Mexico.

That´s comparatively mild to be from an elk crash.

The car will go through a foot of unplowed roads, it has a nice wide track for a little car, just not made for ice.

You show me a car that's made for ice, and I'll show you a car that's has spiked metal teeth for tires!

my insurance company paid the farmer for the steers, what a deal!

And you didn't sue this knucklehead for negligence and damage? Yeah, your right. What a deal!
