Thats why when snow falls bottle caps or steelies are your friend.

I think I have 1 straight bottle cap.

Edit: You should see the mangled mess that lies in my trunk from last winters curb. :roll:

I'm in texas and I know that.

Damn, dude, that's horrible!

I hit a curb about a week ago, slush whipped my car around. I did the right thing by just giving in and going up the curb - hitting it sideways woulda left me off worse. I hate my bottles on, so my tires (which were my horrible all-seasons then) and my bottlecap is fine. My alignment, however, is now a little off. I'll get that fixed eventually.

Coulda been a lot worse though. My snow tires handle a lot better now. ;)

I hope everything turns out for you, that really sucks dude. :x

i came close the other day when it snowed here, i almost dove into one. and we all know what that would have ment for my front spoiler and possibly oil pan.

[Sean]

Yes, I didn't think about my oil pan until the day after. All my oil is still there, and I don't hjave a front IS spoiler yet - and unlowered. Glad I did it now rather than next winter, when my car will be lower. ;)

Ya If you are going to go up the curb go up it straight at least. I go up one though and I will have black snow underneath my car. So I drive slow as balls.

i went outside to day and shoveled around my car and then jacked up the front on both sides.

I hit the passenger side. and the Tierod on that side is bent so a new one is being ordered today. i also am having my mechanic come and take a look at it before i order it because i might need more.
My front borbet is really messed up, not only is it scratched real bad, it has been bent pretty badly. so now 3 of the 4 or bent. so i have 4 new tires, and now wheels for them. im not sure what i want to do with them yet. i might sell the tires and the rims (idk maybe someone would want the wheels. and buy 15 in wheels around spring time,(borbets are 16in).

[318driver]

my mechanic looked at it, and im gonna bring the car to him when i get the tierod. he says he has to look further to see if the control arm is bent at all. the tierod was $55 from bmw and it will be here on monday.
as for my car rightnow, its sittin in the driveway with 2 borbets int he back and 2 bottles in the front.
ill never drive my car in the snow again!

[OOMPH!]

yeah i F...ing hate snow too, I almost wrecked my car last night.....tryed to beat a light and started to drift into a 180, then my brakes locked up and my car stalled too.... i was sliding backwards towards a traffic light.....thank God it stopped before the light pole. Then i go to start my car and it doesn't want to start.....so I give it a couple more trys and it kicks over. I hate snow....now I drive like a grandma.

With my snow tires on, I enjoy the snow a lot more. Before, if my rear end went out, it wasn't coming back. Now, I can control a slide with the amount of throttle. 8)

Hope everything turns out for you, sucks about all the bent rims though.,..
