Guess what... it's snowing

[michelle]

And while I was saying hi to a nice tow driver, he was towing my car out of a ditch. ):

[xxtremeteam]

[HY35F2T]

ugh fwd and you got stuck in a ditch?:wooo

[michelle]

Well the whole car was in a deep ditch in the middle of nowhere. No way I was getting it out, even if it magically had AWD.

Damn you stuck'er good, is there a worse feeling in the world than watching youself going into the ditch ?
Better than going into a $50,000 dollar Caddy I guess. :D

Good luck and remember the first rule of driving in snow, slow down.
On snow covered roads the posted speed limit is to fast for conditions, you could be cited. Snow=Slow

[Car Guy]

I'll say it once again, snow tires FTW...!!! :headbang






:3gears::3gears::3gears:

[Slow Joe]

Well, luckily it sounds like everything's ok...

[Reverend Cooper]

glad your ok and the car is too.

[michelle]

Yeah it's not borked. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Only damage I could see after the guy towed it out was the Mach 1 lip is smashed to pieces. It drove fine on the way home, but I was also driving ridiculously slow because I was a bit shaken. The tow driver followed me back to make sure the car drove fine and I was okay. Have to love nice service like that. (:

I took pictures on my phone, but I won't be able to upload them until I am in a Verizon area. Just found out my car doesn't have the $4 a year roadside service on my insurance, so the tow bill is on me. ):

THANK GOD it's not Borked, Michelle.

[theavenger333]

don't feel bad, i drove the frontage along I43 from about Good Hope to Mequon road, and counted over 15 cars in the ditch. i missed probably 5 miles of the stretch because you can't see that far too. its funny driving ALONG SIDE the freeway, and passing traffic

[WickedSix]

glad you are ok. and yea stuff like that leaves even the strongest person a bit shaken :thumbsup

[TURTLE]

michelle, good to hear you and the car are ok...

[Josepy]

we got 10 inches hear

[wikked]

Took me 2hrs to get home last night because people FAIL at driving.

Also took me 1.5hrs to get to work this morning on WET fücking pavement... seriously, what.the.fück.

*pulls hairs out*

[michelle]

So I haven't driven my car since I parked it in the parking lot outside my apartment. Of course, it snowed more, so I just brushed it all off and found more damage to the front end, besides the Mach 1 lip which is in a couple pieces.

Now to find out how much my deductible is versus the cost of a new front bumper. It's probably a good idea to get an alignment, right? It did a 360 and then a final 180 before finding it's place in the ditch.

Did you yell FOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!?

[michelle]

No, but I cried, does that count?

[TURTLE]

any suspension damage? no body damage i can really depict from the pics...

a few feet that one way.... that's all it would have taken... glad you made it out ok

[michelle]

Front bumper and Mach 1 lip, that looks about it. Car drives straight. Have a slight vibration at 70/75, so I will get my tires rotated and balanced, but that's about it. I will wait until spring and punch out the big dent in the front bumper and probably just deal with the crack in it.
