Haha, I know right!!! No, really though, there's nothing I could've done.. it was complete full on ice on that road, even the dude that I hit was totally cool about it. He said he almost hit the guy in front of him, and not worry about him or his car, just fix my car... Real cool guy!!

Got owned earlier today too!!!

This time, a guy in front of me spun out on the highway on my way to work. Dude, crashed into the wall, and was facing the wrong way, was gonna crash right into him so I had to choose the the damn ditch on the side of the highway.. was pretty fun "drifting" all the way across the highway though now the bumper is completely off

Atleast the guy paid for the tow truck to get me outta there!! and there were no other, new, damages done to the car... I hate it out here

Gio sad to hear! Glad you're okay though, don't worry about the wheels, I was thinking of keeping them anyway.

What tires were you using?

Thanx!! And yeah, I'd just keep those wheels, they go perfect with your car.


I'm using some cheapo cooper tires.. pretty damn shitty.. Funny thing is even before I moved out here, I would always be here for the winter time, to go snowboarding, and I've never had a problem with any of my other cars.. this one just sucks balls, big time!!!

not too many ditches there, but at least it was a ditch and not a concrete barrier,

and to get back your bumper, just go back within a couple of days (sooner the better) and it will still proably be there, they don't seem to clean up the roads too well here from trash
also i had to go back were i jacked up my old accord to get the front license plate that had fallen off (i think it was like 2-3 days later too)

might be worth it to get some decent tires then

but yeah our car's suspensions don't seem to be set up too well for snow compared to some other cars, so you are not the only one (the wide tires don't help ethier)
