Default Damn Black Ice!!!

I was driving home one night and hit a patch of black ice which carried my car into a snow filled median and i went under a divider sign. It then proceded to swing me around and i went backwards inot the opposite lanes of traffic(luckily no one was driving at that moment) and my car went into the woods backwards. Bareley any damage in the rear just a few srapes.

All and all i got $4000 worth of damage. here's the pics







And the damn sign that made the damage

that's a ton of damage, are you ok it looks pretty nasty. your car is going to be in the shop for at least a month for repairs.

:eek3: good thing you only hit a sign. if you ran into a pole or post, you wouldn't be around to share your story today. looks like you impacted at a pretty high speed.

So long as you're ok...the car can always be fixed. As for that sign, I'd go kick it's ass...
