Default Wrecked my car in the snow last night...

Slid around the corner after a u-turn and fishtailed back and forth across three lanes, ended up facing oncoming traffic on top of an 8" curb. Both of my drivers side wheels are broken and the tow truck did more damage than the wreck did. More pictures after i look at it at the body shop.

Looks like an emailed link you tried to post. Need to host the picture first.

Sucks man, but from what it sounds like the damage isn't so bad.

Another reason I have a truck as a DD

I'm at school right now so I can't host the pictures yet. It happened coming out of the u-turn at 249 and beltway 8 on the northbound side. The back end is way out of wack so I'm hoping all of my suspension stuff is still saveable. This is the car I learned how to I've in, and Ive lasted through two years without any problems. I'll try and get some pictures of it up this afternoon.

My brother took some pictures for me today while it was at the shop. No word on if insurance is gonna total it or not, but the guy at Magnolia Paint and Body said he could fix it. We'll see about that I guess.

The body line not matching on the back hatch can be a sign of more serious damage.

i woke up fox 26 news with accidents all over houston
so i decided to call it a snow day,
then i remembered that i really want a c5 or c6 next yr.
so i showed up late and blamed the tardy on the snow accidents
