No I managed to be the only one in the general area when it happened so thats always a good thing.
 
dang sry to see another beauty damaged.. glad you are okk though.
 
I got stuck in a center median on a really strap hill tues afternoon, called for a tow they said n hour n a half, hour later they called n said they weren't coming. I dug my self out with my ice scraper lol an hour n a half drive took me give hours. Luckily I made it home without any battle wounds. Sorry to see you car busted up man but at least ur ok. Funny tho, wen I was stuck I could see a Toyota dealer with a lifted tundra out front, I was so mad I was contemplating trading the car in on it right then n there lol

So you make like 73,943. Such a bummer.

How repairable is it? On ma fone, so no goodz picz.
I ripped the wires out of the windshield washer fluid bottle and the plastic under there is all cracked up. I almost just feel like turning it into insurance to fix because I feel like it will cost me more than my deductable.

We will see I got to take a look and see if anything else is bashed up. If it's bumber only then Ill probably do it. If its not then I'm sending it away.

Suggestion #1: Snow Tires - Best investment EVER if you plan on winter driving a Mustang

Suggestion #2: Autocross - For learning car control in slides and what to do and what not to do in them! :)

Stay safe out there and sorry to hear about your car. They are replaceable and repairable though!

True story on all of that.

And from what I was told I controlled it into the other lane really good. I guess it looked like I switched lanes really fast....then the back end kicked out and my buddy was like at that point I new youe were done.

He said I was going side ways going the way that i was going and then towards the median all at the same time. I did my best just glad no one got caught in the cross fire.

Yeah I'm having insurance take care of it to. I did the math last night and it won't add up in my favor if I did it. So I dropped her off last night and there are gonna call me today with the estimate so we will see.

Great advice.

I'm running Michelin Pilot Alpin on the factory 19s. We've had a brutal winter in Chicago this year and I've had no issues.

I competed in ice Rally-X events for three years in an STI. After that, driving on an icy road is much less scary.
