Crappy

I was coming around a corner and hit a wet spot in the road, crappy thing is the road was dry all the way untill the point. I managed to take out about six mail boxes.

my G/F was right behind me and she spun out in the same spot not even 30 seconds later. Nothing happened to her crappy honda

Don't let the ins company do anything but a full quarter replacement. That's a bitch though. The one time front wheel drive is handy.

They will try. Remember, they don't care what it looks like to you, only the cheapest way to "fix" it.

That sux man. Sorry to see that it happened. I had a friend who didnt set he Ebrake on his 99 SS and just left it in 1st. Came home from school to find it had rolled about 100 yards down hill out of his driveway taking out a barbed wire fence and a couple of small trees. Scratched the **** out of it.

Im more than sure it was water, it was like 1:00am and it was under some trees, figure it was dew that just so happen to wet that spot of the raod. And come to find out people slide off of that part of the road atleast once a week.
