Title: I'm pretty sure I never want to drive in the winter again.
Post by: Silverhawk79 on October 29, 2009, 08:11:17 PM


I know I'm just psyching myself out, but...gah!
Anyways, to give this a point...what kind of car do you drive, and have you ever been in a wreck?

That's my baby, I love it so much. :3
I've been in, well...4 crashes. 2 in that car, one in my old Buick, and one in my stepdad's Caprice Classic. It sucked. :(

I have a ZX 300 in meh condition.

I've never been in a wreck. However, when I was 5, I let the brakes go on my parents truck and it went into the ditch. IT WAS SCARY! I WAS STILL IN IT FOR MOST OF THE WAY BEFORE I JUMPED!

Reminds me of Mario Kart.  I suck at driving however.  Too nervous.

I spy a dent in the hood.
This video also scared the poop out of me.

The dent in the hood has been there for as long as we've had it.

When it was still at the dealer, it was an unfortunate car.  It was one of the ones they kept out for display.  Well, then came a hail storm.  Not a severe one, one that made hail heavy enough to lightly dent the poor thing.  So, we were able to get it at a discount because of hail damage.  And it's lived a good life since.

And HOLY SHIT at video.

My sister's car got beat to poop by hail, so she got it for about $2000, when it was normally $10,000.

Driving in the winter isn't too bad.  Just drive defensively and use it to your advantage when you can.
