It snowed like crazy tonight and the roads weren't salted, plowed, or taken care of at all. My motor shut off (I think I hit the brakes and locked the wheels up while I was in gear, which killed the motor), I lost power steering and most of my braking power, I skidded into a concrete barrier on the interstate, slid for a second, then ended up perpendicular to the lane!
I checked to make sure my passenger was okay. Then, I jumped out to inspect the damage, it seemed superficial, so I popped the hood, looked for any leaks, and satisfied that were none, I backed up off the barrier, and started driving home.
Sucks but could have been alot worse glad to see that your okay and escaped with minor damage.

Wow, i drove my cav just a few ago. It is just now starting to freeze up in my area. I think I will be taking the truck tomorrow. News said Nashville had a few accidents. I left Cool Springs as soon as the sleet started. That gives you a reason to get an aftermarket bumper...
Glad it wasn't a bad accident.

Man that sucks. We have the same crap here! Its nasty as can be but my little cavy beater got me home great.
i did somewhat the same, my apartment maintenance are supposed to salt the slope going down into our garage.. well they didnt a day it snowed real bad and they didnt leave any salt around for us to use.. i stopped to put the key in and open the garage at the top of our slope, then when i let off the brake there must have been a mini snow pile in front of my tires from me stopping and the path of least resistence for my car to go was sideways into the cement wall
the door got kinda screwed up, some minor dents, creases and scratches. if my side moulding wasnt on my car.. it would be a lot worse.

Thats a bummer. Gotta take it easy during the winter when yer driving.
ouch!
Wanting a nice set of black 17's with mint tires? Pm me.
Yeah, snow is gay.
I'm glad it's just a base bumper too. I need to have my hood and trunk painted anyway, maybe I'll have a bumper to bring along to the shop too.
We got that mess down here too, sure makes it interesting trying to climb up the hill my house is on, and you dont want to park on the street here. Sorry to see but glad your ok.
Tsk tsk no winter tires on that thing...that'll learn ya! Mind you they may not have made a difference anyway, but they're still SO worth it, they've saved my ass a few times.

I'm sitting next to some brand new Goodyears that was I going to install the morning of, but I decided to take a nap instead. Gay! lol
