Well just what the title says. Was driving to work this morning in this snow storm, turned on the street work was on when this lady in her huge ass SUV starting loosing control. She started creeping over towards me head on. Will since I really did feel like having a head on I hit the gas yanked the ebrake and tried to do a quick manuver around her, worked i missed her but ended up puttin the car in the snow bank in the ditch. The bitch she was, slowed down then sped off... ho. Anyway I get out inspect damage, counldnt tell much in this white cloud I was parked. An on-coming truck was kind enough to lend a hand on pulling me out. After the black beast was out of the snow back on the road I did a quick walk around. Didnt notice any body damage. Gave myself a pat on the back. If it wasnt for the quick ebrake I would have hit the curb at a 45 degree angle but intead I entered it more at a 25. I could hear the air leaking out of the front drivers side, so that was a downer. After clearing the air intake that was packed with snow I fired it back up. It purred back to life. I took a look under the car and didnt notice any leaking fluids. The white snow packed under it made it easy to see that there was no leaks. Thru it into 1st and did a quick drive. Steering wheel stayed straight which was a plus. I then drove it the .5 miles to work and worked for the day. When I came to no surprise the tire was flat. I thru on the spare which i checked the pressure in a couple of days ago, It was a bitch, it was so cold out and still snowing. Since I hate the cool jacks that come with the car I always carry a 3000lb normal jack in the back, which i was now thankful for as well as the winter jacket, boots, hat and gloves I keep in the trunk. At least I was prepared. On the spare it had the big warning label not to take it over 50mph. I thought the normal standard was 35, the germans just must want to out do the americans. Anyway took the tire in and had it fixed balanced and mounted. Was about $21 not to bad. I noticed a little lean in front so I hung my head took it to the shop. I would like to take a look at it myself but just dont have the resources down here. Well at least I wasnt hurt and I am keeping my fingers crossed that It has minimal damage and thankful for no body damage other then a few scratches.
