This is why I hate winter.............

I was sitting at a stop sign about to make a right turn when a Ford F150(truck) lost control and smashed into my drivers side. In addition to the external damage my steering is screwed and my door no longer opens/closes properly. Oh yeah, I also have the ESP..visit workshop warning
light. Heh!!

Sorry to here that. Atleast the guy in the Ford truck is going to pay for the damage right?

Btw, I noticed you have Blizzak snow tires on the wheels....what kind are those? Are they LM-22's?

Sorry to hear about your accident. But look at the bright side; no one got hurt, and you should be able to get your car fixed up as good as new.

Accidents happen. That's why we have insurance.

btw, I wouldn't be driving that around in it's current condition.

I won't have to pay my deductible or anything.
I believe the Blizzacks are LM-22s.
Yes, I probably shouldnt be driving it.
Since I have to replace the body side moulding strips I was thinking of going
with the 2005 ones that have the chrome strips in them. Might as well since some of it will be paid for and then I'll just pay the difference.

You said the truck lost control of his vehicle.....was it because there was a lot of snow or because he was driving too fast?

How much snow do you guys have over there?.......because its almost snowless here in Indiana.

How would having AWD prevent someone else from hitting you?
