quick story.
last december it was raining, then the rain turned to slush and then it started snowing. Pulled into a gas station and got the undeer steer moment of my life!
the steering wheel was turned but that puppy wasn't going anywhere but straight! I had the e brake on and prayed I would miss this six inch curb. Well I hit it alright. Left front wheel complete over the curb and onto this litte waterfall oasis landscaping! I was sure the whole front end of the car was dented and the bumper was going to hanging off. Got out of the car NOTHING. Just some nasty curb rash on my wheel (easy fix). Took the car right over to my dealer for full inspection and wheel alignment. They said no problems not even the alighment.

Moral of the story: Keep your expensive car at home when the weather gets foul.
Even if you have snow tires, that idiot in the SUV might not and drive right into you! I think accident claims skyrocket during snowy street days.
